Playhouses<br />
A playground should also have quiet areas,<br />
somewhere where childr<strong>en</strong> can have their own<br />
space. These quiet areas promote communication<br />
and stimulate roleplay activities, such as<br />
playing families. It is extremely important that<br />
toddlers and pre-school childr<strong>en</strong> develop the social<br />
skills that they will need throughout their<br />
lives. Role play gives childr<strong>en</strong> the opportunity<br />
to reflect and process the adult world around<br />
them. In fact, it is not the external appearance<br />
of a play house that is important. It is what is<br />
inside that counts: tables, chairs, counters and<br />
shelves – small touches that can stimulate the<br />
imagination and support the child in his/her<br />
role play.<br />
