All the boys in my son's pre-K class do this. Its part of their fantasy play. As long as they arent lying about the important stuff, I don't think it is a big deal.

When he starts to tell me a story I just say "we're pretending now" to let him know that we disclose when we tell a story so people dont think it is true.

I notice that he does this with his friends now too. I dont have any other truth issues with him (lying to us about trival things) just imaginative play, so I dont worry about it. If the lying is extreme and is about more than make believe during play, you may want to look at her attachment.

If not, it sounds like a good time to rent Pinnochico and have a discussion about telling stories afterwards! I think I might do this too!
