The 6 Best Pretend Play Toys To Add To Your Christmas List


by Gretchin Hammill

One thing that every little kid loves to do is to play pretend. Depending on what the child is interested in, whether they are emulating what Mommy does or what Daddy does, or even if they have their own little worlds they have created, having the right pretend play toys to enhance the pretend time not only makes it more fun for them (which keeps them busier longer) but is actually more fun to watch. With all the great play toys available, you will definitely be able to give them exactly what they want so they will spend hours enjoying themselves.

Great ideas for the perfect play toys include:

1. There are a lot of great kitchen pretend play toy sets that are perfect the little girl who is playing house. Cooking and baking for her friends, her dolls and even her little brother if she can get him to sit still long enough. With so many kitchen choices, even the most demanding budding chef will be happy.

2. A mechanic's play set is perfect for the mechanic-to-be. They'll spend hours fixing their pedal or motorized cars, tricycles and scooters. This is even truer if Daddy works on cars as a hobby because they'll feel like they're doing exactly what Daddy is.

3. Another good pretend play set for the boys is a woodworking bench with all the great hammers, saws, rulers and other tools of the trade. If their father is into woodworking then they will enjoy watching what he does then doing the same thing with their favorite pretend play toys.

4. Play shopping is one thing all kids like to pretend at one time or another. Going with Mom and Dad to the grocery store, the hardware store or even the department store and seeing them with a shopping cart and they want pretend to do it too. There's even great looking market counters with cash registers so they can have their own store and have fun ringing up sales.

5. Parents love to grill out during the summer and kids love to pretend to do that too. Having their own pretend toy grill with all kinds of pretend foods, they'll be able to bar-b-que just like Mom and Dad.

6. Regardless of which play set you get for the kids, don't forget the accessories. For woodwork, make sure they have all the tools and plenty of fake wood. It's even better if it is a pop-together birdhouse or some other kit they can actually assemble. For the toy kitchens and grills, play food, play condiments and all the other accoutrement makes for a truly realistic and fun play session.

Playing with pretend play toys enables the kids to expand their horizons, reaching for more fun out of their play time. The more realistic their pretend sessions, the more fun they will have and actually the more they learn in the process.
