The range of story lines and characters are endless, your child can re-purpose other toys to add into the story lines. Language is all about symbols; if they use these LOL dolls for pretend play this will help with their ability to learn new words which ultimately improves play skills as well! Play is a great way to release the steam when something has been bothering them or limits that have been set at home. Storytelling can also be very good for language development and helps kids learn how read.
