Why Play Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Play can be enjoyable for everyone: babies, growing children, and adults.<\/p>\r\n

Having fun together is important. But play isn\u2019t just about fun. When a baby watches an adult\u2019s face or listens to their voice, he or she is starting to learn.<\/p>\r\n

When we play we learn to:<\/p>\r\n

Explore<\/strong>
Focus<\/strong>
Concentrate<\/strong>
Pay attention<\/strong>
Imitate someone<\/strong>
Try out something new<\/strong>
Do the same thing hundreds of times<\/strong>
Find out about our own feelings<\/strong>
Get to know another person<\/strong>
Learn what we can do<\/strong>
Take turns<\/strong>
Pretend<\/strong>
Wait<\/strong>
Imagine<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u2026and so much more!<\/p>\r\n

Being in tune, relaxed and playful together helps babies to grow up healthy and secure.<\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s good for parents and carers too: playing together means growing together!<\/p>\r\n

Tickle games<\/strong>\u00a0like \u2018Round and round the garden\u2019 can be so enjoyable for babies. Notice when your baby looks away or stops laughing \u2013 he or she may need a bit of down time before they\u2019re ready for the next round of interaction.<\/p>\r\n

Peekaboo<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Hide and Seek<\/strong>\u00a0are games that help children cope with their feelings about people coming and going\u2026 Soon they\u2019ll be ready to tease you by hiding something and watching to see how you respond.<\/p>\r\n

Having a place for\u00a0messy play<\/strong>\u00a0with playdo, sand, paint or glue helps children to feel confident about trying new things.<\/p>\r\n

Bath time<\/strong>\u00a0is a great time for exploration and early experiments with what water does and where it can go.<\/p>\r\n

Rhymes and songs<\/strong>\u00a0help children with their language and learning.<\/p>\r\n
