I believe that children can and do learn a variety of different skills while playing and because of this I also believe that play and learning go hand and hand.

It is so important for children of all ages to be able to play as part of their daily life for many reasons. Children learn from everything they do, “Children are like sponges” is a familiar expression to everyone. Play is a vital part of human development. it leads to a world of discovery, problem solving, concentration and focus, literacy, numeracy and science. Play is a chance for children to try something for themselves, work something out by reinacting something they’ve seen or using pure imagination. Different ages will have different needs from their play, for instance a one year old may mainly prefer solitary play but interaction is necessary for the baby to progress emotionally, intellectually and physically. Parallel and observational play when toddlers play alongside each other but are aware of others still requires the start of turn taking and co-operation if a toy is wanted by both. Group play encourages interaction between peers which helps speech, attention span, co-operation, practising turn taking, team building, and emotional knowledge of other people’s needs. So play is important for many things;…
I feel that for early age kids, it is very important and fun to have creative play time. I have 5 kids, and I remember how much fun it was for them to have the freedom of creative play time.

For a young child it is fun to just feel the different textures of things, the different colors, and smells. It also creates bonding time with the parents. I loved…
