Pedagogical tip👩🏻‍🎓:

Symbolic play allows children to continually go from the real to the imaginary, imitating real-life situations.

As a result, they gain a clearer vision of what the world is like by stimulating their social skills, empathy and use of language.

Symbolic play is any spontaneous activity in which children use their mental capacity to recreate a scenario as entertainment.

For example, we can observe how they pretend to be fathers, mothers or other real characters.
This activity allows the implementation of behaviors learned through observation, in addition to stimulating the learning of new ways of perceiving the world.
At the same time, it stimulates the activation of socio-emotional skills and competencies, the expression of feelings and the maturation process of children.
