Simba role play toys – playfully immerse yourself in the world of adults
Let yourself be driven by your own imagination, try out new things and get to know different facets of yourself in a playful setting: all this is no problem with role-playing toys. After all, role-playing games for children are one of the absolute hits! At Simba, you will find a selection of creative role play kits that leave nothing to be desired.
Why is it beneficial to provide children with role-playing toys and to encourage role-playing in general?
We explain in more detail below how role play enriches and encourages children:
Promotion of social skills
Role-playing games often focus on interpersonal interaction. It is therefore only logical that games of this kind promote social skills. By playing together with others, your child learns to express himself, practices making agreements and finding compromises, and develops empathy. By taking on different roles, they also develop their ability to put themselves in the shoes of others and adopt new perspectives.
Promoting creativity
Get creative in role play! After all, your child does not necessarily have to stick to what is realistic. They have the wonderful opportunity to use their imagination freely and to develop their creative thinking in a self-determined way.
Promotion of emotion regulation
As noted earlier, role-playing helps children explore their own emotional world. In the context of special games, they can process their emotions at their own pace, deal with different sensations and find out what possibilities they have for dealing with feelings. In turn, this leads to an improvement in emotion regulation.
Building a sense of responsibility
Especially in role-playing games in which your child takes on a caring, nurturing role, it learns in a kind of “dry run” to take on responsibility. For example, caring for an imaginary animal, looking after children in the role of a parent, or keeping law and order as a policeman, brings the child into contact with the important feeling of responsibility.
Building a sense of cause-effect relationships
How does what I do affect my environment and the situation? What happens if I change my behaviour in this or that direction? Kids can also explore the answers to such questions with role plays. In this way, their sense of the connection between cause and effect is sharpened.
From what age are role-playing games suitable for children?
Role-playing games are something that children start experimenting with themselves during their young lives. On average, kids play their first role-playing games around the age of three. For example, they imitate their parents or other caregivers, slip into the role of an animal or empathise with a character from their favourite series.
The purpose of all this can be explained conclusively. Children often lack the skills and capacities they need to deal with emotions and traumatic experiences “in reality”. During a role play, they can approach these emotions and situations according to their abilities and age. Thus, role-playing for children has a central place in healthy child development.
What types of children's role-playing games are there and what advantages do they bring?
Role plays for children can be divided into two main types: free and guided role plays. A free role play is entirely designed by the child. The child decides which role to take and which scenarios to act out. This offers a lot of space for creativity and imagination to unfold, serves the independent processing of emotions and encourages the child to be independent.
In guided role-play, on the other hand, the person guiding the child sets certain limits. For example, they can specify roles, role-playing toys or play situations to focus the child's attention on certain topics. Especially, children who are rather reserved can often be encouraged to come out of their shells and go beyond themselves with guided role-play.
Role plays as preparation for life as an adult
We all take on different roles during our lives. We are siblings, friends, partners, parents, children, teachers, employees, superiors – the variety of our roles is almost endless. Role-playing is therefore something extremely natural, as it comes very close to what we experience again and again in our everyday lives.
When children play with role-playing toys, they can learn interaction patterns in an age-appropriate way that will be useful to them later in life. They learn to adapt to and deal adequately with different groups of people, to find compromises, to communicate at eye level and to stand their ground in discussions. These are all skills that they urgently need as young people and adults.
What should you look for when buying role-play toys for children?
To help you buy the right role play toy for your child, we will now have a closer look at the most important buying criteria:
Properties
Think about the features you want in a role play toy and compare them with your favourites. The key features that are important here include, for example, washing and care options of the products, sound and light effects, size and weight as well as aspects of product safety.
Design & material
When it comes to the design, the role-playing toys must be visually appealing to your child. You can pay attention to the richness of detail and the realism of the products, which will probably make it easier for your child to get involved in the respective role. Furthermore, choose role-play toys made of high-quality materials. That way, your child will enjoy them for longer.
Accessories
See what accessories can be added to the role play toy of your choice. Also find out whether these accessories are included or have to be bought separately. If you want numerous accessories anyway, multipart role-play kits are particularly suitable.
Age recommendation
The age recommendation is a guideline that roughly classifies for children of which age group a product is intended. It is advisable to assess children accurately to be able to judge which role play toy is appropriate for their developmental stage.
