Play time is an integral aspect of childhood and vital to every child’s development. When children play, they boost their cognitive functions and activate areas of the brain linked to creativity, imagination, confidence boosting, memory, spatial awareness and problem solving skills. Despite the commonly acknowledged phrase ‘child’s play’, play itself is not only about fun (although it is of course about that too), it’s also a time where children can learn, bond with others and develop autonomy and independence.
As such an essential development stage, play is widely advised. Many children nowadays tend to play virtual games, and although these too have their merits, children really benefit from playing with their hands in real life, developing co-ordination skills.
