Abstract
Although imaginative play in children has long been of interest to psychologists it is only recently that it has become a topic for serious psychological research, largely through the groundbreaking work of J. Singer and his associates at Yale. In the present paper a summary of the major research focus on imaginative play is presented. Research outlining some of the correlates of the predisposition to imaginative play, studies linking imaginative play and creativity, the effects of the structure of toys and clinical applications are discussed.
