By creating a dedicated space for your little learner to engage in role-play, you’ll be developing their oral language skills, cooperation, content vocabulary, social skills and fine motor skills – all through age-appropriate play!

As your little learner role plays with money and measures ingredients to make dough, they’ll be developing their early measurement skills. It’s also a wonderful way to develop those fine motor skills required to learn to write as they use their small finger muscles to knead dough, decorate food props and use tongs to place food into bags!

Use all of the printables to set up an incredible imaginative play space ready to capture the interests of your child, or choose just a few at a time. In fact, encouraging your little learner to help create additional signs, labels and props for your Valentine’s Day Sweet Shop is a wonderful way to extend their learning.
