Developing a Child's Imagination Skills-3
Encourage Imaginative Play
Play is one of the things that young children enjoy most, but you can enhance their play experience by doing all you can to encourage imaginative and pretend play.

Acting out different situations is great, as is imaginative play that involves pretending to be a: wizard, elf, king, queen, superhero or motor racing driver. You can add an extra element to their play by providing plenty of props to inspire them. A perennial favourite prop is clothing in which to dress up in (either child size or adult castoffs), or even something as simple as empty boxes in which they could create pretend dens or secret worlds.

As well as helping a child’s imagination develop, pretend play is also great for helping them deal with social and emotional issues occurring in their life and make sense of situations they may otherwise not understand. Toddlers often enjoy playing on their own, but as they get a bit older and develop further, they’ll be more adept at playing with others and will gain heaps of extra skills by learning to share and play cooperatively together.

Play should form a big part of a child’s life and you can be sure that if they’re playing creatively and incorporating a fair bit of pretend play and reading, then their imaginations will be growing and developing all the time.
