Alongside the world of everyday reality, the young child develops a
rich imaginary world of child art, make-believe play, imaginary
friends, fairy tales and magic. This book charts the imaginative
development of children, conveying the importance of art-making,
pretense play and fantasy in early childhood years, and
highlighting the potential that imaginative behaviors hold for
cognitive, affective and aesthetic development. Divided into three
parts, the book begins by examining the development of child art
and how children express themselves through art. Part two looks at
make-believe play and suggests ways that these methods of play can
be utilized effectively in play therapy. Finally, the author
explores children's perceptions of fantasy and fiction as expressed
in dreams, story-telling and magic. The Creation of Imaginary
Worlds highlights the significance of imaginary worlds in
children's lives, their role in fostering creativity and abstract
thinking, and how adults can gain valuable insights into children's
cognitive and emotional well-being. This enlightening book will be
of interest to students of child development, art therapists, play
therapists, counselors and child psychologists, as well as parents,
teachers and anyone else who wishes to gain a better understanding
of childhood imagination.
