Dramatic Play Mexican Restaurant

Why we need to create different types of dramatic play for our little ones

Dramatic play gives our little ones a safe place to act out the things that they see the adults in their lives doing every day. It gives them an opportunity to experiment and see how things work. 

Dramatic play helps children develop

Problem Solving Skills

Knowledge on how the real world works

Language Skills

Cooperation and Sharing with Others

Imagination

Creative Thinking

Our Mexican Restaurant

Our restaurant sits just outside of our home living center.

To go orders

Looking at menu and finding money to pay.

If you look in the back of the picture you will see the stove area and worktable to prepare the orders.

Food is served.

The day before the restaurant was up and running we asked the children thing that we would need for the restaurant.  The first thing they said was money.  So off they went to the writing area to make their own money.  

 Here is some of the money they made.
