Boys and girls of all ages indulge in some make-believe games. Watching kids take on different roles as they play pretend is an amusing thing to do. Your child's imagination will roam wild with top-rated toy kitchens, doll's houses, food trucks, and play tents.
When little kids interpret and copy adult behavior, you can also learn from your child in return when they are involved in these games. Some kids play doctor, Peppa Pig, house, and crawl around the floor like dogs. Pretend play makes your child think and has been shown to help increase your child's emotional regulatory skills, among other things.
Here are toys to encourage pretend play:
