I think it's a common and healthy thing for children to play. When a child doesn't feel save and secure, they don't play anymore. You see this a lot on children that have been abused, neglected or otherwise mistreated. They need playtherapy to actually start playing again. Playing is an essential part of growing up and learning several skills including social skills. With this in mind, and the fact most children have a huge imagination, they should be able to play with pretty much everything. So did I. A cup, a branch a chair, they could all 'transform' into something else. Anything I wanted at that moment. Off course I did also play with toys. My favourites were and are my little ponies. I liked them so much that I still collect them today. I don't play with them anymore, but it does still give me joy to clean them up and display them.

Thank you for denoting me best response, I enjoyed this discussion very much. This is because I want to be a (hope I translate this right) play therapist for children. You have to do a lot of research on playing. I need to finish some basic education first and after that get 3 years working experience before I qualify for this education, so I have a long way to go ;)
