Next time the kids say: I just want to play with my toys, let them.
Play is critical to learn how the world works. Play is instrumental in helping children develop character. Play is necessary, and will teach YOU where the gifts and talents of your children thrive. Play is the way children learn, and they don’t even know it.
Do you?

Stuffed toys, Puppets and Dolls:

Let them play.

Wow, thanks Shelley. It felt so incomplete, so I am sure your daughter could add to it. There is so much to the brains of our littlest humans and how they learn. When I was teaching this was always my soapbox.
