Role Play

Role play started when a toddler's imagination developed. When a child is engaged in the role play he / she is trying to portray the adult's daily life into their own. Role play is an important component in a child's play. This is when the child has a full control in the play to express himself in ideas, speech and actions.
As I recorded down Maximus's ability in his role play session, I realised that this is what he has observed going on in the adult's world - the washing of dishes, arranging them and also preparation of food. This is obvious because he spends most of his time at home despite having the 3 hours in his playschool. So, he learned how adults in action managing the daily life routine. And low and behold, he began to imitate the actions and portrayed it in his role play. Although he seems to be playing with his cousin, he was actually not playing together but just along with her and vice-versa. He is just playing along as both of them set the scene of having a Birthday party.
It's fun and interesting to watch how toddlers engaged into role play session. So do enjoy the video.
