From the early toddling years to the explorative preschool age, imaginative role play is vital for child development. Kido's beautifully crafted wooden toy sets, including doctor, cleaning, baking, and tea sets, provide the perfect tools for sparking creativity and enhancing developmental skills.

Learn how each set can introduce new worlds of play and get tips on encouraging imaginative adventures.

Why Role Play Matters:

Role-playing allows children to explore different aspects of the world through a lens they understand—play. This form of play aids in developing language skills, problem-solving abilities, and emotional understanding. It also helps children learn to navigate their world, building empathy and social skills as they play out different scenarios.

  1. Doctor Set: This comprehensive set includes a stethoscope, syringe, thermometer, and more, all designed to let little healers take care of family, friends, and stuffed animals.

  2. Cleaning Set: Complete with a broom, mop, duster, and organizing stand, this set is perfect for those who love to tidy up and take care of their play space.

Encouraging Imagination Through Play:

To further nurture creativity, here are some general tips for parents:

  • Participate in Play: Join your child in their imaginative play. This not only makes the play more fun but also shows that you value their ideas and creativity.
  • Ask Open-Ended Questions: Encourage your child to think deeper about their play by asking questions like "What happens next in your story?" or "Why does your character do that?"
  • Provide a Creative Environment: Set up a specific area in your home where your child can spread out their toys and play without interruptions. This designated space can be filled with additional props and costumes to enhance their imaginative play.

Kido’s range of wooden toy sets offers endless possibilities for creative play. Each set is designed not just for fun but also for educational development, helping children learn about the world in safe, imaginative ways.
