    5 Benefits of Encouraging Your Child's Imagination.

As a parent you might never guess all the ways a good imagination benefits your child.  It helps a preschooler:

Develop social skills    As children play pretend, they explore relationships between family members, friends and co-workers and learn more about how people interact.  Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients.  Playing house, they learn more about how parents feel about their children.  Imaginative play helps develop empathy for others.  If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need.  They become more willing to play fair, to share and too cooperate.

Build self-confidence   Young children have very little control over their lives.  Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child.  It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.

Boost intellectual growth Using the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought.  Children who can see a king's castle in a mound of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically.  This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds and so on.

Practice language skills Kids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking.  This helps boost their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and enhance communication skills.

Work out fears Playing pretend can help children work out their fears and worries.  When children role-play about the big bad monster under the bed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn't seem quite so big or so bad.  Imaginative play also helps kids vent confusing feelings they might have, such as anger toward a parent or rivalry with a new sibling.

A Little about Kathe Kruse: 

The Käthe Kruse Doll Studio is the oldest German doll company that is still existing and working in the traditional way. Handwork, simplicity of design, integrity, and an aversion to gimmicks and fads are still very much a part of how the dolls are made. Each doll and item of doll clothing is made by hand and takes from 16 to 36 hours to make. During that time, it will pass through the hands of 8 to 10 craftspeople and artists.
