Oh Hello, Let’s Pretend! Why Imaginative Play is Magic for Kids

So, what is pretend play? It’s those magical little moments when grass soup is served for dinner, dolls get tucked into bed, or your living room transforms into a bustling café.

Pretend play (also called imaginative play or role play for kids) is how children make sense of the world, and it’s where the real fun (and learning!) begins.

Why Binky LOVES pretend play 

Pretend play is so much more than keeping them busy. It:

✨ Boosts language + communication
✨ Encourages creativity & imagination
✨ Builds confidence & independence
✨ Supports emotional growth
✨ Teaches empathy & social skills

Big life lessons, all from a game of “shops.”
