Abstract: | The appeal of fantasy is universal. Adults as well as children enjoy escaping the bonds of reality. For us as adults these flights of fantasy are usually short-lived, but for young children they are a way of life. This article focuses on structured activities for the classroom with ways to help children grow through imaginative play.This article is excerpted from the bookJust Pretending available from Mailman Family Press, 707 Westchester Ave., White Plains, NY 10604. |
