Archie and Ella Play (A 2- and 4-Year old play differently)

What is pretend play?

When working with parents and families, it is helpful to have a handout that compliments what you are explaining to them, as well as giving further information. In this section there are parent handouts to download. Each of the handout titles will come in two versions – a full version and a brief version. The full version has more explanation, and the brief version says what the full version says but with less words and more pictures.  Both full and brief versions are supplied as different families have different needs.

The handout series starts with ‘What is pretend play?’ (in full version and brief version). This handout is a free download and it explains to parents what pretend play is and a little bit about why it is important.
