Playing pretend is a great way for children to explore ideas and practice language skills. They also get to try on different roles, like being a parent or a baby, and to see the world through other people’s eyes. This is an important skill for getting along with others. #bornready #bornreadymovement #allearning #earlychildhoodeducation #ece #childdevelopment #earlylearning #earlychildhood #parenting #parentingtips #children #vroomtip #brainybackground

Pretending is essential to learning. In addition to learning more about everyday life like cooking, children are learning that one thing can stand for something else (a table is a stove). This is an ability they will also use learning that letters stand for sounds or numbers stand for quantities of things.
