Pretend Play – Apothecary

After listening to them describe their elixirs, they were so proud of each of their remedies created to cure various ailments. It certainly was a vocabulary lesson for the younger ones who had never heard of words like cumin, oregano or poultry seasoning.

- imagination
- creativity
- measuring, mixing and stirring
- sensory experiences of taste and smell
- reading skills
