The Importance of Play

 

Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development. It is through play that children at a very early age engage and interact in the world around them. 

 

'Play gives children a chance to practise what they are learning.'

Mr Rogers 

“Play is the beginning of knowledge.”

George Dorsey

“Do not keep children to their studies by compulsion but by play.”

Plato

“Play is the highest form of research.” 

Albert Einstein
