My daughter LOVES to play school. She plays it with her friends and she plays it with her stuffed animals. I am constantly finding papers all over her room that she created so that she could be more like a teacher: report cards, daily schedules, calendars, and homework assignments. I thought that she would be delighted if I created her a Pretend Play Printable School Kit that had all of the school essentials, and boy was I right! I printed her off this School Kit, put everything together, and handed it to her in a folder and she brought it straight to daycare so that she and her two friends could play. Right off the bat, I saw that the time and effort I put into this kit was well worth it. I know that I was the same way as a child – I loved playing pretend adult activities. My mom used to have this huge briefcase and lots of old tri-copy paperwork and my brother and I would play “salesman” for hours! So if you have a child that loves playing school, then this Pretend Play Printable School Kit is for you!
