🧜♀️ Imagination and play 🤸♂️ How many of us have heard parents say that their young kids are perfectly happy to play with blocks and a cardboard box, over something else? Simple toys and materials help to cultivate kids' sense of wonder and fantasy. They encourage kids to lean into leadership roles, help cultivate their planning abilities and foster creative thinking. 🧠 What are some other ways to help nurture kids' development through play? 🧡 #LearningThroughPlay #LEGO #Kids #Toys

How would you evaluate your Play Quotient? or your 'Woo-hoo' Factor? How much time do you and your team put aside to intentionally relax, move your body, laugh, allow yourself to be silly, have fun, and for bonding and team-building?

On June 11th, we celebrate the International Day of Play! 🎉 Play is much more than just fun and games for children; it's a vital component of their development. Have you ever paused to consider what happens in a child's mind during playtime? Through play, children unleash their superpower of imagination, creating worlds where they can explore, learn and grow. These moments are packed with opportunities for cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. When children engage in play: - They enhance their problem-solving skills and creativity. - They develop social bonds and learn the art of communication. - They build resilience and emotional strength. Next time you see a child engrossed in play, remember, there's a whole universe of learning and development unfolding before your eyes. Let's honor this day by recognizing and promoting the profound importance of play in every child's life. 🌟 #InternationalDayOfPlay #ChildDevelopment #PlayMatters #Imagination #LearningThroughPlay #EarlyChildhoodEducation #HolisticDevelopment #CognitiveGrowth #SocialSkills #EmotionalWellbeing #PhysicalDevelopment #CreativePlay #EducationalPlay #PlayTherapy #HealthyChildhood SEO: International Day Of Play Child Development Learning Through Play Early Childhood Education Healthy Childhood Play Based Learning Childhood Development Play To Learn Developmental Milestones Social Emotional Learning Playful Learning Brain Development Healthy Growth Childhood Memories

What is the concept of #Children_Learn_through_play? To my observation, whenever children play it happens to be in two ways -especially at school; 1.When left to play without teachers' influence, there will seem to be no order. Because children will try out to implement some of the mortal actions or sports they recently saw either on television or anywhere else. They try bringing them into practice with their fellows. 2.But when teachers intervene to conduct organised #Group_games, there will be some order in the play ground. A question of interest is; what would be better? should we encourage play without teachers' influence? or organised group games is better? but before choosing, it's important to highlight #Who benefits from either of the two ways of playing? What is best for our children? What do you think about this? #Quality_Education #Learners_Motivation #Holistic_Child_Development
