Play is not just about having fun! Research shows that learning through play is an important part of a child’s healthy brain development. Play allows children to use their imagination and creativity whilst learning about themselves, how the world works and developing the many important foundational skills needed for their future.

The benefits of educational toys are endless. Not only do they build a child’s confidence and independence, they also play a vital role in developing and practicing skills such as:

• Fine and Gross Motor skills • Problem solving skills • Social skills such as compromise,

conflict resolution and sharing • Emotional awareness and regulation

skills • Language and communication skills • Cognitive development • Numeracy and literacy skills

Playing with your child, as well as encouraging independent and social play is one of the greatest things you can do for your child. Play is exciting, challenging and fun and is essential to enhancing your child’s well-being!
