Question

What types of materials ,equipment and props supports childrens drama and imaginative play?

Answer 1

My children have loved both puppets and dress up clothes.  They also enjoy acting out favorite stories like "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" and "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".  

We have various children's instruments like a triangle, a cow bell, a drum, maracas, a washboard, harmonicas.  The children like to sing and have parades around the house.  

There's also nothing better than a big cardboard box.  We turned one into a Gingerbread House (I cut out windows and a door with a sharp knife and we decorated with candy made out of construction paper).  Another box became a dragon.  Now, each time a package arrives, it's more fun for the kids to figure out how they want to play with the box (a boat, a schoolbus, the possibilities are endless).

Duplos (Legos for little ones) are great too.  Our Duplos are turned into everything from tall towers, to cakes, to guns and Storm Troopers.  

Basically, anything can support imaginative play as long as it's not a toy that "performs" for the child (the toys that move and make noise, light up, need batteries).
