The students are in need of baby dolls, blankets, and feeding items to use on a daily basis. Through dramatic play, children have to negotiate, agree, and cooperate. Physically children will develop small muscle and large muscle skills, as well as visual discrimination and eye-hand coordination. When children pretend, they are beginning to use abstract thinking. They also practice math skills (for example, setting the table for four people, using one-to-one correspondence). Oral language is practiced as well, growing vocabulary and taking turns in conversation. There are no limits as to what each child will learn in each of these domains through the opportunities provided by a new baby doll.
The environment is viewed as the second teacher and having inviting materials such as baby dolls, blankets and feeding items for the children to use will support their play and learning.
