Did you know research consistently shows creative play, often encompassing pretend, imaginative, or symbolic play, is a cornerstone of early childhood development?
It involves children using objects or toys to represent ideas, roles, or scenarios beyond their literal function, fostering skills like problem-solving, emotional regulation, and social competence.
Such play activates brain regions tied to empathy and social cognition, with dolls serving as a key prop.
Fabric or cloth dolls and toys made from natural materials like cotton, amplify these benefits by encouraging open-ended exploration and imaginative play.
