Pretend Play

Pretend play refers to imaginative activities where children take on roles, create stories, and act out scenarios, often using toys, costumes, or everyday objects. This type of play allows children to explore different experiences, such as being a doctor, teacher, chef, or superhero, helping them develop creativity, problem-solving skills, social-emotional abilities, and language skills. Pretend play is essential for cognitive development, as it encourages children to use their imagination, build empathy, and understand the world around them through exploration and role-playing.
