Finally, through role play activites , young children develop psycho-emotional skills such as empathy, altruism, and kindness, enabling them to grow with confidence. By imitating reality, role play allows children to invent new stories and new worlds.

They allow children to replicate a key moment of their day, such as preparing a meal at home, in their own way. Similarly, playing shopkeeper helps the child enhance their vocabulary and construct increasingly complete sentences. Wooden kitchens are particularly loved by children under six years old . In this phase, children have a need to give meaning to objects, classify them, and arrange them in a precise manner to structure their thinking. Thus, organizing the food and the kitchen items has genuine educational value for a child's development.

When dressing a doll, a child exercises their fine motor skills and incorporates daily instructions (putting on pajamas for sleep, wearing warm clothes when it's cold outside, etc.). Through role play, children become more independent.
Dolls also assist children in growing up and overcoming certain life stages: for example, it can be easier for a child to accept the arrival of a younger sibling by playing as a mom or dad with their new doll.
