How often do parents get an opportunity to play? Particularly mums
Play feeds your soul
Play enables children to:
• Express themselves • Explore language freely, develop vocabulary • Explore feelings and find out about themselves and others • Develop co-operation, care, consideration • Exercise choice and make decisions • Use mathematical language and develop mathematical concepts • Develop a range of motor skills • Adapt, risk taking, problem solving • Explore a fantasy world of their own creation
For your children play is vital. Play is a child’s work.
Everything a child does, or doesn’t do, influences the next stage of their development. The early years are the time when a child’s brain is developing, making connections and creating a network of skills that are built on throughout their lives.
Play is important for everyone – adults too
