Our children play in the dramatic play area every day. Due to COVID-19 restrictions we are no longer able to use fabric dolls and our wicker cradle. Therefore, we have one doll to use with all of our children right now. We also have limited furniture for dramatic play in our classrooms to use with dolls. We recently added a classroom to our program and had to divide the materials between classes. The children will use the requested materials to further develop the play they are currently doing in the dramatic play area in our classrooms. The dolls will be fed, changed and nurtured using the highchairs, table and changing tables. They will likely be taken to the doctor, have lessons taught to them by little teachers, and become siblings in pretend families are moving through daily routines. The scenes that will play out with these materials are really unlimited. Dramatic play supports children to feel strong and proud of who they are. It gives them an outlet for the expression of social emotional ideas and current events in their lives. These days children are using a little plastic hair dryer to check each other's temperatures, an expression of their daily experience. Dramatic play encourages children to put themselves in someone else's shoes. Such role-playing helps them to improve their ability to do this in real life. They learn important social skills, such as empathy, problem solving, patience, and flexibility. Children get to show their identity during dramatic play while experiencing cultural differences in a natural and supportive play environment. Having children share their life experiences with each other builds confidence and unity within the classroom community.
