The home living area in my classroom is a favorite spot during free choice center time. Part of the home living area contains a doll bed and high chair. I currently have two small, well-loved baby dolls that were passed down when I inherited my classroom. Both dolls are too small to sit in the high chair. I would love to provide lifelike dolls that represent the multi-cultural ethnicities of all of my students. In addition, I would like to provide opportunities for students to practice their fine motor skills without even realizing it while having fun changing the dolls’ clothes, wrapping them in blankets, and feeding them with bottles. The doll area encourages imaginative play which provides excellent opportunities to practice social and emotional skills (i.e., taking turns and sharing). Play-based learning also fosters creativity and imagination (i.e., sometimes the babies are going to school; sometimes they are at home or going shopping), and it encourages the development of language and thinking skills (i.e., negotiating who will be the “mom” or “dad” or “babysitter;” why the baby is crying; where they will take the baby on an outing.) There are times when I have noticed one of my non-verbal students “singing” while rocking a baby doll.
