Yesterday, I took my children to see Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie, and while I was watching, it struck me just how similar the message of the film is to what we value at The Little Village of Imagination: the magic of creativity, curiosity, and imaginative play. 💛
As Gabby and her friends solved problems, explored new ideas, and created magical moments, I thought, “This is exactly what we see every day in our play sessions, parties, and school visits.”
✨ Imagination is How Children Learn
Children learn best through play, and imaginative role play is one of the most powerful ways for them to develop important life skills.
- In our school and nursery sessions, children become bakers, builders, vets, or shopkeepers, practising teamwork, problem-solving, and communication.
- During birthday parties and special events, they immerse themselves in themed role play experiences, developing confidence and creativity in a fun, supportive environment.
Just like Gabby’s Dollhouse, play encourages children to think creatively, try new ideas, and celebrate the joy of learning through doing.
🎨 Play Builds Confidence and Connection
One of the things I love most about watching children play is seeing how they embrace challenges.
When a game doesn’t go as planned, they experiment, adapt, and find solutions — building resilience and confidence along the way.
And play is social, too. Whether in a party setting or a school session, children learn to cooperate, share ideas, and connect with friends and adults — skills that last a lifetime.
🏡 Bringing Imagination to Life
That’s why The Little Village of Imagination exists: to create spaces where children can explore, imagine, and learn through play.
Our party hire packages transform your home or venue into a magical world of role play — complete with themed props, interactive activities, and fun for all ages.
Our school and nursery sessions bring role play directly to your classroom, offering curriculum-linked learning in an engaging, hands-on way. Every session is designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
💛 A Little Reminder for Parents
Play isn’t just fun — it’s how children make sense of the world, develop skills, and connect with others. Watching Gabby’s Dollhouse reminded me how important it is to encourage imaginative play at every opportunity.
So whether it’s a themed birthday party or a school session, stepping into a world of imagination helps children grow in ways that are joyful, meaningful, and unforgettable.
🧁 Bring the Magic to Life
If your child loves pretend play, themed adventures, or just wants to explore their imagination, we’d love to bring that magic to your home, school, or nursery.
