Dramatic Play

Dramatic play, also known as pretend or imaginative play, involves children actively creating scenarios, roles, and stories through their imagination. It allows them to explore real-life experiences, emotions, and social interactions in a safe, playful environment. This type of play encourages creativity, problem-solving, language development, and empathy. Children might pretend to be superheroes, doctors, or parents, using toys, costumes, and props to bring their ideas to life. Dramatic play is essential for cognitive and social development, helping children understand the world around them while developing their communication and collaboration skills.
