Children love nothing more than imitating adults and the grown-up things they do, and so these toys are all designed to stimulate their imagination and role-playing fun in a wide variety of ways. Pretend play is also very good for promoting compassion and emotional understanding, and it gives them a worthwhile sense of responsibility at a tender young age!
