Development Through Play

Arts & Crafts

“Almost all creativity involves purposeful play.”

– Abraham Maslow

"Playing a game together actually builds up bonds and trust and cooperation. We actually build stronger social relationships as a result."

- Jane McGonigal

Outside Play

"In play a child always behaves beyond his average age, above his daily behavior. In play it is as though he were a head taller than himself.

- Lev Vygotsky

Fine Motor Skills

"We believe that toys are the tools of childhood and that the simple act of playing allows kids to develop a lifelong love of learning."

-Mark Carson, president and co-founder of Fat Brain Toys

– Fred Rogers

Science

“Necessity may be the mother of invention, but play is certainly the father.”

– Roger Von Oech

“Play is the highest form of research."

-Albert Einstein
