My kids love to play pretend, as I’m pretty sure most kids do. They especially love playing anything that allows them to be ‘grown-up’ and do and act as grown-ups do.
Several months ago a few of my kids wanted to play restaurant, so I thought I would make up a printable menu. Then I thought again, why don’t I see if I can find one that someone has already made and save myself some time. So I did, and I found an awesome one that also has little tickets for you to take orders on (it’s the first link listed under Restaurant).
Then I got to thinking, if someone has made restaurant printables, surely someone has made some for other pretend play themes. So onto the internet I went searching high and low for quality (and FREE) pretend play printables.
And here is what I found! I hope your kids (and you) enjoy them as much as we have.

OMG you can’t believe how much I would have loved the patient sheet when I was little. I was always playing doctors with my sister and we used to write our own lists and patient sheets making up their addresses and illnesses…
some good activities
What an amazing round up of printables! Thank you 🙂 Excited to print some off when the girls take naps this afternoon. Have a beautiful day <3
