make up words

Does your kid make up words? I have an almost-4 year old and she likes to make up words. Could this be because she doesn't know how to say exactly what she wants to say? If so, what are ways I can help improve her vocabulary?

What do you mean make up words?

Exactly that. She'll say workds like abushka, shami, shibi shibi... Haha. It's quite funny, but I'm not too sure if I should be worried. Or maybe she's exercising her creativity and imagination? Or is it something else entirely that I should worry about?
