It’s no secret that my children love pretend play so today I have gathered together 15 fun and fabulous, Christmas inspired pretend play ideas for those children who love to imagine and pretend. Some are small world ideas and others are larger, themed dramatic play spaces but all of them are simple to set up and are great for free play – engaging your children so that you can get all of that last minute Christmas preparation done I’m hoping!
