PRETEND PLAY

Young children with disabilities are often limited in opportunities to explore pretend/fantasy play. A new company, Switch Kids (http://www.switchkids.com/) has adapted commercially made toys for switch use that promote interactive make believe play. The descriptions below are from their web catalog.

Cook 'n Play® Stovetop
This pretend stovetop is switch adapted with 2 electronic cooking sounds - "bubbling" water and a "whistling" teakettle. Comes with 8 kitchen accessories. When warm water is poured from teapot into cup the tea bag changes color.
Pretend & Play Supermarket Checkout® This durable supermarket set comes with a switch adapted working conveyor belt for interactive play. Nine different food items, shopping basket and credit card are included. The scanner light flashes and register beeps while young checkers "ring up" the scale.
Talking Pay Phone It works just like a real pay phone! It is switch adapted with two jacks and features electronic sounds and voices. "Hello, please put in coins or phone card" or "Hello, collect call, no coins needed." It also continues to work in original manner by inserting credit card to make a charge call or by dropping in coins for pay call.
