Play influences every aspect of your child's development
Creativity and imagination grow, along with learning that life is full of opportunities and possibilities when your child creates and pretends.
Physical skills develop as your child learns to reach, crawl, walk, run, climb, jump, throw, catch and balance. Fine motor skills develop as your child handles playthings.
Mental skills sharpen through play that encourages problem-solving and shows cause and effect. Your child learns about shapes, colors, sizes and other concepts through play.
Social skills, like learning to follow directions and rules, cooperate, take turns, and share, build during play.
Emotional skills form through your child’s experience of pleasure, bonding with others and working through feelings during role-playing. Goals achieved through play, increase your child’s self-esteem.
