About Imaginative Play Matters
Imaginative Play Matters is celebrated in October each year, to coincide with Children’s Week. Play Matters affiliated groups are encouraged to hold celebrations and invite local community members and families to get imaginative, dress up and attend their play experience. In addition, Play Matters holds a series of signature events.
Often referred to as fantasy or dramatic play, imaginative play involves role play, object substitution, and nonliteral behaviour. It is inherently creative and open-ended, providing an excellent opportunity for social, emotional, and language development.
