pretend play

Pretend play, often referred to as “imaginary play,” is instrumental to children in early learning environments. At Discount School Supply, we offer a wide selection of pretend play toys and sets that can foster imagination, creativity, and socialization in your young learners. From quiet, self-play with dinosaur figurine pretend play sets to groups of children co-managing a doctor's office with role-play toys, our selection lets you set up your ideal learning environment.

Learn About the World
One of the benefits of role-play toys or things like pretend play kitchens is that these activities can teach children about the world around them. Through taking on and acting out various roles, your little ones will process and make sense of the world. When they play and learn with other children, that pretend play food becomes a conduit for further developing social and emotional intelligence skills. Other products, like dolls, help children see themselves represented, as well as give them an outlet for exploring their emotions.

Pair dolls or role-playing toys with dramatic play furniture. With the right equipment, your little ones can set up a fully stocked pretend play kitchen, serving meals to each other and exploring what kind of roles they like or dislike in the process.

Especially for younger children, imagination is the key to unlocking the doorway to greater learning. At Discount School Supply, our pretend play toys and sets help educators like you tap into this key and encourage your children to grow.
