The Power of Play: Learning Through Fun and Creative Exploration
Activities & play
August 5, 2025



Play is learning in disguise. Through play, children strengthen language, motor skills, problem-solving, and social confidence. Both guided and free play are essential for balanced growth.
Age-Appropriate Play Ideas
0–12 months: Tummy time, sound toys, facial expression imitation
1–3 years: Block stacking, color sorting, water play
3–5 years: Role-play (shop/doctor), puzzles, beginner board games

Creative Play at Home
Turn a cardboard box into a shop or bus
Nature scavenger hunt with leaves, flowers, and rocks
Music-stop dance to develop rhythm and listening



Final Thought
Just 20–30 minutes of free play plus 15 minutes of guided play daily can fuel lifelong curiosity and skills.
