Just Playing?
For kids, the purpose of play is to have fun and do interesting things. The result of play is development and learning. Here are some skills that happen when kids play:

Problem-solving

Matching colors or shapes in puzzles or games

Building with blocks, boxes and more

Social Abilities

Taking turns or working out a sharing system

Talking about the things around them. Listening when another talks

Feelings

Telling another child or adult her feelings

Recognizing other's feelings — "She's sad, her mom left."

Creative Ideas
Using one thing for something else. For example, turning the barn into a train station, a cooking pot into a drum, or a crayon into a baby doll's bottle.

Just For Parents is a community service of PROTEC and Meld. For more information about Meld, go to www.meld.org or call 805-680-7469.
