In this blog, Jan Pierce explores the importance of play in childhood development. Fantasy play, where children pretend to be dinosaurs or royalty, offers numerous benefits. Most children naturally engage in pretend play without needing encouragement, especially between the ages of two-and-a-half to six or seven. When given the freedom, they create a diverse range of imaginary conversations and adventures. Research has shown that children participate in fantasy play with greater intensity and intention compared to more formal activities like baseball or board games.
