Pretend Play Definition & How they Benefit Toddlers & Preschool Kids:

Dramatic play is an important part of the pre-kindergarten curriculum. It is a form of play in which children take on different roles and act out scenarios, often using props and costumes.

This type of play helps children develop social and emotional skills, as well as language and cognitive skills.

It also allows children to express their creativity and imagination. Examples of dramatic play activities include setting up a pretend grocery store or doctor’s office, and encouraging children to act out different roles such as a shopper or a patient as many of our activities show above at the above links.
