Learning Through Play
Through play and imagination, children can experience cognitive growth with math problem-solving at a pretend grocery store, hone their physical skills by balancing blocks or running around the playground, expand their vocabulary as they explore toy dinosaurs together, learn how to collaborate in social situations like a make-believe car wash setting, and build up literacy abilities by creating menus for an imaginary restaurant. So don’t limit your little one’s learning potential – unleash it through fun!
