My Project

I’m asking for dollhouse toys so my students can use the dollhouse in my classroom. Children love to play house and model experiences they have in their home. I’d like to give children of all backgrounds the right dolls to play with. Children learn best at a young age through play. Children share experiences and model what they see at home. I want my students to have the best possible tools to learn. Dramatic play opens the minds and helps students learn from each other. Playing with dolls encourages children to talk more about others’ thoughts and emotions, a study has found.

The research suggests that playing imaginary games with dolls could help children develop social skills, theory of mind and empathy.

The neuroscientist who led the work said that the educational value of playing with LEGO and construction toys was widely accepted, but the benefits of playing with dolls sometimes appeared to have been overlooked.

“When children create imaginary worlds and role play with dolls, they communicate at first out loud and then internalize the message about others’ thoughts, emotions and feelings,” said Dr. Sarah Gerson, a neuroscientist at Cardiff University and the lead author. “This can have positive long-lasting effects on children, such as driving higher rates of social and emotional processing and building social skills like empathy that can become internalized to build and form lifelong habits.” Please help my classroom out!
