All children, from a very early age, like to imitate adult activities so that they can understand them, and so they have a sense of joining in. Encouraging your kids to engage in imaginative play, more
where they pretend to run a shop or cook a meal, is a healthy and vital part of growing up. Pretend and Play has developed a wide range of toys aimed at developing children’s imagination and encouraging free play. With a Pretend and Play set, children can enjoy hours of fun, working at their favourite job and role-playing different situations.
Puppetry offers another realm of the imagination: puppets allow children to inhabit a different character, and think and speak as someone else. It is enormously valuable in helping them to gain empathy and to see what life is like for someone else. With a selection of hand puppets and a homemade puppet theatre, you can open a whole new world of imaginative play for your children.
