PLAY is the best school🌈🏠✨

My kids love when I play with them & I love it so much too! It's a great way for us to bound & have fun.

One of their current favorite things is playing pretend restaurant or store.

Kids learn A LOT through play, so I take pretend play as a teaching opportunity. For example, when we play pretend restaurant we practice colors & food recognition. "Can I have a tomato", "can I have a purple food".

When we play pretend store we practice counting as we scan the food & also count the pretend money.

Engaging in pretend play with your child can have a great impact in boosting their brain development. It can be as simple as pretending a banana is a phone & you’re already encouraging their imagination.

There are more benefits to pretend play, pretend play helps children:

⭐️Develop language & communication skills

⭐️Helps develop social skills
