We’ve all heard the term, “Oh, that’s child’s play.” It implies something is easy, frivolous and unimportant in the overall scheme of things. 🌈 But to a child, child’s play is essential to their mental, social, emotional, and physical development.
We all know that children like to play ✨. But what we may not know is the importance of play in a child’s life. Play is essential to every area of a child’s growth and development.
Play provides a means for energy to be put to use. It strengthens and refines small and large motor skills, and it builds stamina and strength. 💜 Sensory learning develops mostly through play. Play is significant to physical development in that without it the body could not grow and develop normally.
