Pretend play helps children become familiar with the world in which they live. Children can play at experiencing new situations or emotions in a way in which they feel safe and protected. This gives them confidence when they meet new challenges in the real world. From the age of two, children have the analytical abilities and language skills to start making up stories and participating in role play. https://www.mimitoys.ie/shop-by-learning-skill/pretend-play-toys.html
