Pretend Play

Imitation is the first stage of pretend play. As imitation evolves it becomes more imaginative. The complexity of pretend play can be seen when the child re-examines life experienes by adding or changing the happening.

Benefits of pretend play include:
a.. vocabulary development
b.. social skills development
c.. differentiation between reality and fantasy
d.. emotional support
