Children love to role play or play make-believe at an early age. Role playing also helps children develop their skills, capabilities, builds self-confidence and improves their communication and language skills. This is the kind of play that is fun while allowing children to learn, develop and practice a wide range of skills. It also provides children a safe environment to explore new ideas and make sense of the world around them.
There are so many toys that can make your children’s role playing more fun and educational. Market stalls are good examples of role playing toys. Role playing toys like market stalls allow children to play roles and act in different scenes based on their experience. Children are not bound to one play style when playing with market stall toys. They are free to role play however they want which is good for early development. Most of the time children imitate adults and when they reach a certain age they engage more in role playing than any other kind of play. For children, play is all about fun and learning. Through play, children can observe and experiment leading to development of essential skills.
Play with others should also be encouraged during the early developmental stages of children. Play market stalls are ideal for this because children can play roles as sellers and buyers. These playsets are also good for sibling play. When playing with other others, children will learn how to cooperate and coordinate. It will also teach them how to be patient especially if they are taking turns on what roles they want to play.
Communication is also a key part of a fun role playing session. Frequent interaction with others through play will help children refine their communication skills and expand their vocabulary by learning new words. Children pick up words quickly and they usually start using these newly learned words when they are playing with others. Having good communication and language skills allow children to convey their messages and express themselves through words more effectively.
Play market stalls often involve accessories and props like shopping bags, tills and produce like fruits and vegetables. Other props include common grocery items like play milk bottles, play food and more. With play market stalls, children can set the prices of their goods and will learn basic numeracy and maths. This is a good way to prepare your children for preschool.

When children set up their market stall, they practice using their hand eye coordination and fine motor skills. These are essential skills that enable children to perform actions like buttoning and zipping when they grow older and become less dependent on their parents to do things for them.
Market stall toys come in a wide range of styles, designs and most of these toys come in sets with other accessories. If you want to maximise your children’s learning potential, choose market stall sets that come in bright colours. This will grab your children’s attention and be a good tool for teaching basic colours. Colour recognition is important for visual discriminiation and acuity.
