Pretend play

Wooden toys for symbolic play

Pretend play is the quintessential type of play, typically developing around ages two to three (though every child follows their own pace). It is crucial for their growth and learning. It involves playing with life, creating roles, inventing stories, dressing up, imitating adults… anything that helps children integrate emotions and reality. As adults, we should provide appropriate materials for this stage and allow children to take the lead in their play. Pretend play brings them closer to social reality and supports language development — it’s truly amazing to watch them grow through this kind of play.
