My Project

Dramatic play is not something that should stop in preschool!

Play is how kids learn.

Allowing older students to engage in dramatic play teaches many social skills. Not only are they using their imagination, but they are also learning about taking turns, how to organize and function within a group, and skills that may be needed to actually perform a certain task. Dramatic play is often overlooked in the early elementary years, but the options are truly limitless.

I would love for my students to have the tools to turn our classroom into a doctor's office, a vet's office, a salon, or a restaurant.

My kids are so sweet and I love giving them time in the classroom to explore and play without a device. These sets will make all that possible.
