Benefits of Pretend Play
Pretend play, also called dramatic play, is beneficial for your children or students in so many ways!

Pretend play increases language and communication skills and boosts vocabulary and story telling skills. It can help improve memory and recall as children need to remember their specific roles and any storying that’s unfolded Dramatic play helps your child develop cooperation and negotiation skills including turn taking, resolving conflicts, and sharing ideas. Imaginative play can even help boost fine motor skills! Doing animal checkups, using the cards, handling the money, and doing other activities all boost fine motor strength and coordination.
How to use pretend play printables
The beauty of pretend play printables is that they’re open-ended. There is no one specific “right” way to use them! That having been said, there are some general guidelines that will help your child or students enjoy this set of free printables. I recommend laminating all large sign pieces or placing them in a dry erase pocket. Exam and grooming sheets can also be placed in a dry erase pocket. Item cards, name tags, room signs, and pet cards are best laminated. For increased durability, cut out the cards, then laminate them. Cut the cards out again, leaving a small lip of lamination around each border.
