Importance of Playing
























































For the last one week, my small daughter has only one thing to discuss about her school - the ongoing installation of the play equipment at the large outdoor play area. She is absolutely right to fancy about… because this play structure, which is coming right under our 'tree house', is a unique one; imported from Dubai, and contains swings, slides, jungle gym, etc.
Large outdoor play areas containing swings, jungle gym, slides, tree house, and sand pit help the learning needs of all kids and develop their social and co-ordination skills. These types of play activities allow a lot of creativity and development without any performance or pressure issues. Toys and ideas work together very well to have the most fun and the best education options.






Language skills: Outdoor play involves a lot of communication which develop language skills with no conscious effort.






Conceptualization: The ability to visualize without actually seeing it in practice is a primary mechanism in higher logic and mental exercise. Playing with creative toys is the best way to ensure this vital skill is learned and enjoyed.






Motor and fine skills: Game play is the best way of learning fine motor skills.






Numeracy: Basic numeric skills are a part of early literacy. Recognising numbers and their meanings is a particularly essential element in fundamental skill development.






Social Development: Large outdoor play area is a healthy way to ensure kids get a good grounding interaction with other people. They can achieve much in terms of social development, making friends and reducing shyness.
