Through playful experiences children develop: Emotional Skills develop spending time with you and others. Social Skills are mastered by following directions, taking turns, sharing and abiding by rules. Physical Skills excel as children learn to reach, crawl, walk, run, climb, jump, throw, catch, and balance. Fine-motor Skills grow manipulate objects, toys, books, crayons, scissors, and pencils. Language Skills mature as children interact using words as they play with toys and engage in activities. Critical Thinking Skills through play encourage problem solving; helps learn cause and effect, quantities, or spatial relationships. Creativity and Imagination Blossoms as children pretend to be doctors, teachers, parents, or firefighters. Play is how young children learn best They learn that life is full of possibilities and opportunities
