How can imaginative play benefit my child's learning?

Creative play, also known as pretend or imaginative play, takes place when a child enacts experiences that pique their curiosity, such as pretending to run a restaurant with their friends. Imaginative play can involve a child acting on their own or in the company of others. During make-believe play, children often assume different roles and develop stories that stimulate their imagination.

When children engage in creative play, they are able to explore their creativity, develop social skills and improve their cognitive development. Whether it's pretending to be a superhero or playing shopkeeper, imaginative play provides an opportunity for children to discover and learn in a fun and exciting way.
