My Connections to Play

The essence of childhood, of course, is play, which my friends and I did endlessly on streets that we reluctantly shared with traffic.

Bill Cosby

Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
Fred Rogers

   

Play is something that all children will experience but the best way to experience play is through learning. Growing up, my parents were strictly about learning what you needed to know to move forward. My mom use to always say no one has time to play you need to be learning, Now, that I’m older I realized that children are learning through play.
