Benefits

Benefits of pretend play abound: promoting language, creative and social skills. They help kids try out real life situations or imitate different kinds of dialogue, which help develop their vocabulary and linguistic skills. They help kids see things or people from another perspective and gain better understanding. Through dramatic play, children explore new surroundings or try out roles. By taking part in pretend play, they are stimulated intellectually and are encouraged to develop their creativity.

Dolls play an important role during pretend play. They help kids develop a sense of self and awareness of their greater surrounding. They are good for role-playing and for exploring complex emotions like empathy, fear and frustration. They can also facilitate their curiosity to learn by helping children try out new roles or activities like being an older sister, taking care of another, or exploring the backyard. They often provide a comforting companion to reassure children during new situations.

In the tradition of the Waldorf education, children learn and play with simple, wholesome and all-natural toys. It emphasizes imaginative play in learning and in the context of everyday living. It's overarching philosophy is to provide children with a natural and supportive setting in which to develop their unique identity.
