Children never “just” play. By interacting with others and by playing alone, children expand their understanding of themselves and the world around them. And no matter if they are doing a puzzle, building a tower of blocks, playing a board game, reading a book or drawing a picture they are constantly evolving important skills, such as fine motor skills, social skills, artistic skills, language skills and mathematical skills.
Children simply can’t stop learning while they play – they explore, experiment, analyze, have new experiences and master disciplines all the time.
