Young children learn by imagining and doing. Therefore, these imagination-driven materials that I am requesting for my students will enhance their many developmental skills. My students will have the opportunities to enhance their language skills, social and emotional skills, and nurturing their imagination through pretend play using the materials I am asking for.
Through pretend play, it will help my students develop their language skills. For example, using the dollhouse materials will allow my students to imitate their mom, dad, and even their teacher, and use words and phrases that most of us teachers and parents probably never thought they knew. In addition, by pretend playing with others, my students will develop the skills of reenacting a story or even organizing play.
Moreover, through pretend play, my students will enhance their social and emotional skills. When a child engages in dramatic (or pretend) play, he or she is experimenting with the social and emotional roles of life. My students will learn how to share responsibility (e.g. cleaning up), taking turns with the materials, and problem-solving. My students will also develop empathy when they pretend to be different characters and understand the feelings of others. They will develop self-confidence when they discover that they can be anything they want to be just by pretending.
Lastly, through pretend play, my students will develop their imagination. My students can be anyone and do anything in the pretend world.
