What our experts think

This play house allows children to engage in imaginative role play which is one of the most important components of a healthy balanced play diet – as it encourages children to be active and creative. Our testers loved pretending they were hiding from the big bad wolf, that they were cooking, and that the house was a food store! This builds oral storytelling skills, which is great for promoting creativity and for encouraging communication through collaborative play.

Role playing with real world imitations like play houses is also useful as it develops a child’s understanding of the world around them, as they can act out and make sense of scenarios they may have seen. For example, opening and then closing the doors and windows, especially as they leave the house for safety purposes is great as it helps children to understand these real life concepts.
