I am requesting a outdoor playhouse cottage for my TK students. The playhouse will be used for fun, for pretend play, to enhance their language skills, to develop critical thinking, and allow for self-expression!
Pretend play gets kids engaged in storytelling as they act out new scenarios and communicate what imaginary things are going on – a great way to flex creativity and language skills!
Role playing requires kids to engage in storytelling as they make up scenarios and communicate with others about what role they’re playing. They also have to react and build off of what the other person said or did.
Using pretend play toys to mimic their adult role models helps instill a sense of independence in children. They feel a sense of power in being able to do what you can do!
Running into problems while playing, like trouble closing the refrigerator door when too many items are placed inside or trying to swivel the faucet over a full sink, allows children to think through problems and craft solutions.
I cannot wait for my students to have fun, socialize, and develop new skills through the playhouse!
