Pretend play is an important component of learning. During pretend play, young children learn from imagining and doing. They use an object to represent something else while giving it action and motion, thus developing stories that take place in a world of their own. However, this is more complicated than it may seem. The process of pretending builds skills in many essential developmental areas. When kids receive ready-to-consume content, pretend play takes a backseat.
