mini star

pairing: paige bueckers x fem!reader

warnings: fluff

synopsis: a cute moment where you get to be a part of paige coaching your daughter into becoming a mini basketball star.

♡₊˚ 🦢・₊✧

the sun was starting to set—casting a pink and orange glow across the sky—and paige and lani were still out in the driveway playing with the mini basketball. in true texas nature, it was still hot and humid, even after the sun was no longer high in the sky. you sat on your porch with a mug of coffee in your hands, smiling fondly as you watched your two girls play.

lani giggled as she ran past paige and tossed the ball towards the mini goal, not quite reaching it but close enough. "mama, i made it!"

"you did!" paige scooped her up in her arms and gave her a high five, a big smile on her face. "you're almost ready to take my spot, aren't you?"

"almost? she's got better footwork than you bueckers," you teased, taking a slow sip of coffee but keeping your eyes on them. "better watch out."

paige gasped, feigning offense. lani wriggled her way out of paiges arms and immediately ran for the ball sitting at the end of the driveway. you set your mug down and made your way off the porch, the old wooden steps creaking under your weight. once you reached paige she wrapped her arm around your waist and tugged you close, you gladly leaned in.

"she's determined," paige murmured, eyes following lani as she clumsily dribbled the ball back towards the mini hoop. "and i swear she trash-talked me earlier."

you laughed, leaning your head on her shoulder and wrapping your arms around her. "well, someones gotta keep you humble."

she leaned down and pressed a kiss to the crown of your head, a smile tugging at her lips. "you used to do that."

"hey, i still do."

"true."

lani stopped at the edge of the make-shift free-throw line paige had drawn in chalk earlier and lined up her shot again. she bent her knees just like she'd watched her mama do many times before, granted it was a little more exaggerated, then threw the ball with all the strength her little arms could muster.

the ball hit the rim and bounced off, she gasped like she'd just lost the most important shot of her life. "nooooo!"

"hey, hey," paige spoke gently, stepping forward and crouching down to her level. "that was so close, baby. you almost got it."

lani pouted a little but nodded. “okay, m'gonna try again.”

“that’s my girl,” paige encouraged, giving her a small pat on her side before backing up to give her space. lani picked up the ball and tried again and again. each miss was followed by a dissatisfied grunt, a wiggle of her hips, and a little more concentration. you sat criss-crossed now on the pavement, clapping and cheering for her even though she missed. paige ran defense—arms raised, stepping back dramatically every time lani made a move, like she was going up against a professional.

“go left!” you called.

“she only goes left,” paige said with a grin.

“she’s watching you, what did you expect?” you shot back, raising your brows at her. lani finally managed to make a shot off the backboard and through the mini hoop. the ball dropped cleanly into the grass behind it.

she froze, eyes wide, like she couldn’t believe it, then she screamed, "I MADE IT! MAMA! MOMMY! I REALLY MADE IT!"

Paige was already rushing forward. “oh it’s over now. you're officially a pro.”

you stood and joined them just in time for lani to jump into your arms. you spun her around gently, her sweaty forehead pressed against yours, her giggles ringing in your ears like music.

“i beat mama,” she whispered.

you kissed her cheek. “you did.”

you glanced at paige and she stepped closer, crossing her arms with a eye roll that had no real heat behind it. “i’m starting to regret all the dribbling drills.”

“only now?” you teased.

"i'm tired." lani sighed tiredly and laid her head on your shoulder, the wear of the day starting to dawn on her. paige pushed away the curls sticking to her forehead and pressed a soft kiss to her head.

"let's get you to bed, champ."

Interlude

Gotham Menagerie Menace AU: 1 | 2 | 3

-Kagami always sensed something off about Gotham. Like a perpetual storm cloud constantly lingered overhead, thunder rumbling but downpour not starting....not yet at least. The first week, goosebumps prickled across her skin, hairs standing on end. However, she's proud to say she has adapted. That doesn't mean she's let her guard down (just ask the 12 failed mugging attempts).

-Still, Gotham Academy lived up to its reputation. She's there for a student exchange program & finds herself enjoying it. The best part of it was undeniably her 2 new friends: Damian & Skylar.

-She clicked well with the former & the latter had 0 problems adopting 2 introverts. They bonded over art, expectations, swordsmanship, manga & enjoyed silent companionship.

-One day, Skylar brings up rumors of a mini menace in the seedier parts of the city. A stray whom, if fed will protect others from harm. But if crossed, will scratch your skin off & curse you with bad luck.

-Kagami’s curiosity is piqued. She’s kept up with the news in Paris & knew abt Adrien’s disappearance which coincided with CN’s ‘betrayal’. This was a possible lead.

-And well, she never hesitates.

-She shares the news with her newest & now closest bodyguard (re: friend), the Gorilla. Together, they venture in search of Gotham’s newest stray.

-Unbeknownst to her, Damian has shared similar news with his family, prompting Nightwing, Red Hood & Robin to investigate.

-In the airport, Nathalie and (her recently adopted) the kids set foot in Gotham for the first time. Two of them have brooches gleaming under their hoodie/coat respectively & all them carry a taser and/or mace spray.

-In a basketball court that’s seen better days, Stray plays with a group of street kids, cheering as one of the shorter boys finally got the ball through a hoop, blissfully unaware of the chaos that’s soon to erupt with him as the eye of the storm.

Themed activities will tie everything together. Incorporating fun games and challenges into your party will complement the bouncy house and make the experience even more exciting.

Obstacle Course Challenge: For a sports or adventure-themed party, set up an obstacle course race where kids compete to see who can finish the course the fastest.

The Ultimate Guide to Toys for Preschool Kids

Introduction

Preschool years are a critical period in a child’s development, as they lay the foundation for learning and social skills that will carry them through their academic journey and beyond. Toys play a vital role in this developmental stage, providing children with the tools to explore their world, develop cognitive and motor skills, and foster creativity and imagination. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the various types of toys that are beneficial for preschool kids, what to look for when choosing toys, and some of the best options available on the market today.

Understanding the Importance of Toys in Early Childhood Development

Cognitive Development

During the preschool years, children are rapidly developing their cognitive abilities. Toys that challenge their thinking and problem-solving skills can significantly contribute to this growth. Puzzles, building blocks, and educational games help improve memory, spatial awareness, and logical reasoning.

Motor Skills

Motor skills are divided into two categories: fine motor skills, which involve the use of small muscles like those in the hands and fingers, and gross motor skills, which involve larger muscles used for activities like running and jumping. Toys like play dough, beads for threading, and stacking toys enhance fine motor skills, while ride-on toys, balls, and climbing structures promote gross motor development.

Social and Emotional Skills

Playing with toys also aids in the development of social and emotional skills. Role-playing toys, such as dolls, kitchen sets, and action figures, help children understand social roles, practice empathy, and improve communication skills. Cooperative play with these toys also teaches sharing, taking turns, and conflict resolution.

Creativity and Imagination

Toys that encourage imaginative play are crucial for fostering creativity. Art supplies, costumes, and pretend play sets allow children to express themselves, explore new ideas, and engage in storytelling, which enhances their language skills and ability to think abstractly.

Types of Toys for Preschool Kids

Educational Toys

Alphabet and Number Toys: These toys help children recognize letters and numbers, laying the groundwork for reading and math skills. Examples include alphabet puzzles, number blocks, and electronic learning tablets.

STEM Toys: Toys that promote science, technology, engineering, and math concepts are excellent for preschoolers. Simple science kits, magnetic building blocks, and coding toys designed for young kids encourage curiosity and problem-solving.

Puzzle Games: Puzzles enhance problem-solving skills and hand-eye coordination. Options range from simple shape sorters to more complex jigsaw puzzles.

Creative Toys

Art Supplies: Crayons, markers, paint, and clay allow children to express themselves artistically. Easels, craft kits, and coloring books are also great additions to their creative toolkit.

Music Instruments: Instruments like tambourines, xylophones, and keyboards introduce children to music and rhythm, which can boost their auditory skills and coordination.

Dress-Up and Role Play: Costumes and accessories for pretend play allow children to explore different characters and scenarios, fostering creativity and social understanding.

Physical Activity Toys

Ride-On Toys: Bikes, tricycles, and scooters promote physical activity and help develop balance and coordination.

Sports Equipment: Balls, hula hoops, and mini sports sets (like basketball hoops or soccer goals) encourage active play and improve gross motor skills.

Outdoor Play Equipment: Items like slides, swings, and climbing structures provide opportunities for physical exercise and adventurous play.

Interactive and Electronic Toys

Interactive Storybooks: These books can read aloud and engage children with questions and activities, enhancing their listening and comprehension skills.

Learning Tablets: Tablets designed for young children come loaded with educational apps that teach letters, numbers, shapes, and more through interactive play.

Robots and Coding Toys: Simple robots and coding toys introduce basic programming concepts in a fun and accessible way.

Choosing the Right Toys: A Buyer’s Guide

Safety First

Safety is paramount when selecting toys for preschool children. Look for toys that are:

Free from small parts that could pose a choking hazard.

Made from non-toxic materials.

Sturdy and well-constructed to withstand rough play.

Age Appropriateness

Ensure that the toys are suitable for the child’s age and developmental stage. Most toys come with age recommendations, which can guide you in selecting appropriate items.

Educational Value

Choose toys that offer educational benefits. Toys that teach letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and basic science concepts can provide a head start in school readiness.

Durability

Preschoolers can be tough on their toys, so durability is an important factor. Look for toys that are well-made and can withstand frequent use.

Engagement and Interest

Select toys that align with the child’s interests. A toy that captivates a child’s attention will be played with more often, providing greater developmental benefits.

Encourage Independent Play

Allow children to play independently to foster creativity, problem-solving, and self-confidence. Provide toys that they can explore on their own without constant guidance.

Join in the Play

Playing with your child can strengthen your bond and provide opportunities to guide their learning experiences. Join in their pretend play, build together, or help them with a puzzle.

Create a Play-Friendly Environment

Ensure that your child has a safe, organized space for play. Having designated areas for different types of play (e.g., a reading nook, an art station, a play kitchen) can make playtime more enjoyable and productive.

Conclusion

Choosing the right toys for preschool kids is about more than just keeping them entertained; it’s about providing them with the tools they need to grow, learn, and thrive. By selecting toys that promote cognitive, motor, social, and creative development, you can help your child make the most of their early years.
