Talking to toilet roll holders

My daughter's currently under the table talking to cupcake cases. She has them spread out on the floor around her and each one seems to be a member of her class. ("Are you there Megan? Are you there Lila? Don't do that Mika!") She is telling them all what to do (lol!), and she's also saying other random-sounding things like "there's Tigger, and there's lots of carrots".

She often pretends that household objects are her friends. It's so funny, and I think that she acts out some things that have happened at school, using these objects. I'm not worried about this; I think it's normal and remember doing something similar - except I used dolls and teddies rather than cupcake cases and toilet roll holders..

While her friends are into dolls, my daughter's never shown any interest in the dolls or soft toys that people have bought her. I don't mind this as there's no rule that says girls have to play with dolls (although it's obviously a shame that people have bought them for her and she's not using them).

Actually somebody bought her a gorgeous little teddy bear for her birthday, and she just ignores him - so I have adopted him.
