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:

• Sweet Shop Menu
• Hours Sign
• Open and Closed Signs
• Order Here, Pay Here Signs
• Pretend Money
• Gumball Machine Sign
• Gingerbread Men and Houses to Color

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.
