Pretend Play
We have a various number of pretend play toys to really get your child involved by using their imagination.
Some of our Favorite Imaginative Toys include:
- Action Figures
- Holiday and Religious Toys
- Play Kitchens
- Play Sets
- Puppets and Puppet Theaters
Action Figures
Action figures are great toys to help children develop their creative abilities and learn the art of pretending. We have a wonderful selection of action figures that include everything from prehistoric animals and Noah's ark and bugs in a box to Cinderella and from pasture pals to pirates. Our Cowboys and Indians or Medieval Times sets will even give children some insight into specific historical time periods. Each action figure is safe with no harmful parts.
Holiday and Religious Toys
Religious toys and holiday toys are very similar because religion is such a large part of many holidays. Children like to emulate adults and religious toys provide the child with a chance for emulation. Imaginative toys are fun because they allow the child to use the imagination in a realistic setting with family and friends.
Play Kitchens
Play kitchens are a fantastic way to allow your child to use their imagination. Play kitchens can run the gamut from basic to fully loaded. Some of the different models of child play kitchens include toy microwaves, refrigerators, dishwasher and ovens. These single unit models of play kitchens are sturdy and very ergonomic.
Play kitchens are a great way for your child to use their imagination and act like a grown-up. With play kitchens, however, your child may need some extra accessories to help them use their imagination to the fullest. We offer a nice selection of play food to help the child use their imagination. Assortments of play food feature everything from canned foods to meats to different desserts. Play food is essential when it comes to using play kitchens, but you may need some other accessories as well. Some kitchen accessories include pots and pans, a play cutting board and knife. Your child can prepare all kinds of play food the right way and learn about using a knife the safe and proper way before they take it to the real kitchen. Play kitchens make great gifts, but having the perfect accessories is just as important!
Our best selling play kitchen is the KidKraft Play Kitchen. This beautiful set comes complete with a refrigerator, freezer, oven, sink and microwave. This kid-sized favorite is sure to impress the young chefs in your life.
Play Sets
Play sets are a great way for the child to use his imagination. Play sets can let children imitate the careers and everyday activities of a grown-up. Play sets can enhance the imagination of your child, making their understanding of the “real world” a little more real to them.
One of our more popular play sets are the magic sets. Your budding Houdini will love learning magic tricks with the Melissa & Doug Discovery Magic Set. This high quality set will provide your little magician with all the basics to perform amazing illusions and crafty slight-of-hand tricks.
And, for the child who loves farms and animals, we offer the Melissa & Doug Fold & Go Barn. This top quality barn features large sliding front doors, large stalls, stable doors, hayloft and a convenient carry handle for playtime on the go. Also included are seven detailed farm animals, including a pig and horse, for an endless barnyard adventure.
Puppets and Puppet Theaters
Everyone loves getting invited to a puppet show! There is lots of fun to be had with puppets and puppet theaters for both children and parents. Puppets provide the child with a chance to get involved with imaginative play and really let their imagination run completely wild. Not only are puppets great for your child's imagination, they are a great means of artistic expression and communication. Most children will have an easy time relating to puppets from a very early age since they often use their imagination to make inanimate objects and characters come to life.
