"Small world play" helps children explore concepts in the big on a scale they can control and comprehend. Children can recreate, investigate, and process their world through play from a position of safety. These play pieces will be used during our free choice play time. Your donation will help my students develop their imagination, and explore storytelling and language skills. These medieval castle and dollhouse sets with accessories will provide my students with experiences to collaborate in pretend play and use their imagination to form scripts and storytelling with character play pieces. As my students play, their fine-motor hand skills get a workout, they will build quality language, and increase vocabulary as they form dialogue on the spot in their role-play. Also, they will use their intellect and explore social emotional themes such as family and friends. Engaging in small world play has many benefits!
