The Importance of Play for Babies and Children
What is Play?
Play is a fundamental part of a child's learning and development. There is no concise definition of play as everyone describes what 'play means to them, from their own experiences'. However, to play you should be enjoying the activity and be be actively involved in taking part.
When a child plays it stimulates and activates their brain, supporting their learning and development in multiple ways. For a child to learn, develop and flourish it is recommended that an environment is created where a child is freely allowed to explore, discover and have opportunities to play alone as well as, interact with others.
The Importance of Play
Play is fundamental for a child's learning and development and gives children the opportunity to access sensory, physical and cognitive experiences. These experiences support children in their learning and development in many different ways and provides opportunities to support a child's:-
- Curiosity, imagination and creativity
- Confidence building, self esteem and resilience
- Understanding of the world around them
- Feeling of love, safety, happiness and security
- Establish social skills
- Develop Language and Communication
- Develop both fine and gross fine motor skills
- Support independence
- Gain the skills to care about others, their environment and the world around them
In order for a child to gain these positive attributes to their learning and development, it is vital that children have access to various different play experiences, included but not limited to free play, organised structured play, indoor and outdoor play, playing alone or with others, playing creatively and sensory play.
Our Book, Toy and Sensory Gift Sets, Book, Toy and Sensory Subscriptions, as well as individual books, toys and sensory toys, can support play experiences and help provide opportunities to support a babies or child’s learning and development.
