Tulip Toys - No1 for Wooden Toys As babies grow older

As babies grow older
Psychologists agree that babies learn much through watching other babies and imitating their parents. Dr Coultas terms this 'social pretend play'. She explains that from around 15 months a child is able to imitate, watch and comply with his mother's suggestions, which means time to offer up plenty of ideas. Toddlers don't actually play together properly until about 21 months when they being to learn independence. You should now take on the more passive role of spectator. Pretend tea parties are a favourite at about this age. At about 25-30 months your child will be able to develop a story with his friends. They love to mimic scenes from home, playgroup and television. From around three years of age children create pretend worlds together and enjoy embellishing them in greater detail as they get older. All this leads to the important social skill of the 'theory of mind', which simply means that they have now learnt that what they think isn't always what others will think, and they are able to put themselves in someone else's shoes.
