What is dramatic play?

It’s the kind of play where kids take on roles and act them out as a way of exploring themselves and their surroundings. By pretending to be someone—or something—else, children can learn new ways to express themselves, share thoughts and ideas, and even get in touch with their feelings.

Dramatic play is a very important part of childhood development. Students will engage in literacy, self-regulation, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and social skills. They will be interacting with one another in positive ways and learning so much without realizing it!

Here’s what you’ll get:

• Spa Hours Sign
• Appointment Cards
• Open and Closed Signs
• Spa Menu
• Check In Sign
• Labels for: Lotion, Towels, Herbal Tea, Aroma Therapy, Flip Flops, Mortar & Pestle, Stones, Candle
• 3 Inspirational Quote Posters

All of the hard work is done for you. Simply print and cut out the LOW PREP pages and laminate them for use year after year.

Optionally you can add hard goods to make it more interactive. For example, toy apples, cash register, scale, play money, etc.
