By the age of three or so, young children’s imaginations are strong enough to support roles such as kings, princesses, etc., and to imagine certain objects as other things (eg, imagine a piece of bricks as a cake). By choosing toys that children can use to compose and act out stories, this “pretend play” trains their language and writing skills, problem-solving skills, and the ability to arrange events in a logical sequence.

They’ll spend a fair amount of time playing with these items, including pretending to make phone calls with your cell phone, because they’re desperate to grow up quickly and be as “all-powerful” as their parents. These real-life objects are also beneficial to the development of children’s problem-solving skills, knowledge of spatial relationships, and gross motor skills.
