Fantasy play is a type of imaginative play where children create and act out scenarios using their imagination. This can involve pretending to be characters from stories, movies, or their own creations, allowing them to explore different roles and situations. It often includes the use of props, costumes, and settings that enhance the experience.
Through fantasy play, children develop important skills such as creativity, problem-solving, and social interaction. They learn to negotiate roles, share ideas, and express emotions, which are essential for their emotional and social development. Engaging in fantasy play can also help children understand the world around them and build empathy for others.
