This is a time when your child will pretend to be a baker, doctor, or firefighter with another peer or an adult.
The wonderful aspect of dramatic play is that it is spontaneous. You are able to see how your child perceives herself and the world when you watch her use her imagination to act out different roles and situations. Often your child will create a scene that is familiar or imitate family members. Let her have fun!
Dramatic play is a form of free play for your child to express herself. It is one of the most personal, individualistic, and intimate learning experiences your child can engage in because through dramatic play your child can explore the world by taking on the role of someone else or work through her feelings by recreating a familiar situation.
Overall, it is important to encourage your child to participate in dramatic play because it offers a wide range of opportunities for two year olds to use and expand their cognitive, language, literacy, memory, and social skills.
