Exploring through Play

From the very beginning of life, children explore the world through play. Children of all ages play, but they play differently at different ages. The youngest children receive sensory feedback from their play with objects.   Infants and toddlers use their senses and movements.  They delight in these sensory explorations and become increasingly motivated to use their developing motor skills to impact their environment. Babies love to roll through a room of soft  blocks, push musical toys to make them sing, and punch buttons to cause a hidden person or animal to jump up.
