As you allow her to explore her environment one of the activities she will want to do is pretend play. If she takes a bowl and turn it into a hat don't say "that's not a hat" but rather say something like "oh wow you are wearing a hat".
She may graduate to pretending to feed some of her toys. This displays her development to share. Encourage it by saying something like, "oh you are sharing with your giraffe." When she does an action you want to acknowledge it. Don't interrupt by joining in if it's self play.
A few days ago I gave Ajani some cheese to eat, I broke it up in small manageable pieces. He ate a few pieces and then he took his giraffe and placed the giraffe's face in the bowl as if the giraffe was eating cheese also. I said, "oh Ajani you are sharing your cheese with the giraffe."
Be well

Sharing information and advice on the most critical time... The first 2000 Days. What are some things you can look out for and some activities you can do with infants/toddlers to get them through the various developmental milestones before they get to school.
