Pretend Play
Role playing toys are a great source of inspiration in the pretend play of young children, in that a well designed role playing toy doesn't do everything for the child, but rather opens the door to using the imagination. While many toys lend themselves to role playing, the best pretend play, I think, is very open ended, giving room for a child to express his or her interests and talents in the use of their toys. Little Tikes makes many play sets and items which adapt to individual interests, providing a simple, sturdy source of hours of childhood entertainment.
Whether it's a Little Tikes car, a Little Tikes Kitchen or Little Tikes Shopping Cart, or a Little Tikes Swing Along Castle, your youngsters can have hours of interactive pretend play. Furthermore, Little Tikes is known for the sturdiness of its materials, lasting beyond your first child.

Strong and Sturdy
Little Tikes has served our family well through the years. Some of the most popular pieces are Little Tikes Toy Boxes, shaped as miniature furniture pieces. My daughter's pink Little Tikes Toy Box Couch is still in use in our home for storage, some 16 years after its purchase. It's easy to clean, and has stood, not only the test of time, but also the rough and tough treatment of active children. The furniture aspect has made it great as a part of role playing activity, whether the kids played house, or rocked their baby dolls while Mom rocked a new baby. They have covered this, and accenting pieces, with blankets and books to make tunnels and tents. Little Tikes Storage, and Little Tikes Furniture, work into pretend play, without doing it all for your kids.
Little Tikes Playhouse Sets
Little Tikes Playhouse Sets are great doors to pretend play, as children are free to create their own adventures, based upon their favorite characters, or creating their own. These Little Tikes sets provide a loose theme, upon which children easily expound. Youngsters can simply act out the everyday routine of parents, with a cottage style playhouse, or they can rescue damsels in distress in their Little Tikes Castle. These are role playing toys which provide for safe pretend play, as the materials are solid, and the themes, fun. The designs of Little Tikes Play Sets are creative and colorful, at times combining the house portion with swing set features. The sets last for years.
Little Tikes Playground Sets
Little Tikes Playground Sets are decorative enough for indoors, in many cases, sturdy enough for outdoors. I have a friend whose living room was half consumed with such a playground climber, an indoor play area during her kids' early years. Our outdoor Little Tikes Slide is still sturdy and useful, after nearly a decade of rough and tough use. Jungle Gyms and Playground sets are fun places for role playing activities of childhood, and foster fun pretend play in kids.
Little Tikes Cozy Coupe
The Cozy Coupe by Little Tikes is a classic, and young adults of today may have fond memories of this first set of "wheels"! A little less stressful on Moms and Dads than real driving, its fun to watch your youngsters scoot around and rev and roar in these popular ride on toys.
Little Tikes Tool Bench
Unless you have a youngster who insists on real tools, a Little Tikes Tool Bench is a fun role playing toy for boys who want to build. Daddy would much rather they had their own tools, and these are much safer. Inspire your future architect with great pretend play.
Pretend Play with a Little Tikes Kitchen
Little Tikes makes many clever play kitchen sets, and these are all fun for inspiring your daughters. As a role playing toy, this is a childhood favorite theme, and pretend play in a real looking kitchen setting is so much fun. It's not a new concept, but Little Tikes kitchen sets are so much more durable than the brittle plastic kitchen sets of my childhood. Little Tikes stands the test of time!
