This study looked at 120 children and cross referenced their vocabular at 21 months with different playing skills at the same age. Not surprisingly children who could do things like blow bubbles were better with langauge. Both require good oral-motor control. The research also observed that children who were better at playing pretend were better at language as well, suggesting that there is an important link between imagination and langauge.
