Imaginative play is much more than playing around-it is one of the most significant things in children’s development. In pretended play, children learn to solve problems, develop empathy, and improve their communication skills. A dollhouse or play kitchen/mud kitchen is a toy that allows children to test out different roles, environments, and ideas. They encourage and make them exercise creativity, which helps them understand the world around them.
