The Power of Pretend Play

Pretend play is an important activity for children. It boosts their imaginations, and helps develop language, problem solving and social skills.

When kids play pretend and take on different roles, they experiment with vocabulary they don’t use in their everyday lives.

Pretending to be different characters allows children to see the world from new perspectives and learn how other people may feel.

Playing pretend develops problem solving skills when conflict develops within the story they’re playing.

The possibilities for pretend play are as endless as your child’s imagination. Pretend play with your kids today!
