Imaginative Play

Come and dive into imaginative play with Barnshenn, where we believe in making childhood more inspiring and memorable. 

Unlike structured activities, creative play is child-led. By use of role-playing, children can investigate many points of view, express their ideas and emotions, and develop confidence in their opinions. Children's language develops when they recount their stories and interact with others.
