Summary A methodology for recording and quantifying children's imaginative doll play was evaluated with a group of 10 normal children, aged 18–42 months and a group of 9 ESNS children, aged 57–103 months. With both groups there was high inter‐rater reliability and the measures used to quantify the play showed an expected positive correlation with Developmental Age. Furthermore the measures were sensitive to changes in the play brought about by different play materials and experimenter modelled doll play.
