Suitable for children aged 0 mos. to 7 yrs.

Role play is an important part of your child's development, because role play strengthens your child’s ability to think creatively in terms of their own identity. How does a horse or a ninja talk? And what can I do if I'm a dinosaur or a queen? Having such thoughts while playing develops children's social skills. Acting out different roles helps children build up their awareness of the world they live in. Through role playing, your child is able to learn about rules, boundaries, and opportunities for identity formation and social interaction.
