From market stalls and shop counters to puppet theatres and everyday jobs, role play toys invite children to step into the everyday world of grown-ups where they can make up their own stories.
Role play gives children a chance to copy the world around them. Firefighting sets, police cars, household items and wooden cash registers all support the kind of imaginative play that builds social skills and confidence through trying on different roles.
Whether it's serving customers at a till, rescuing people from a fire, or directing a puppet show, it's focused, imaginative play that keeps children absorbed.
