Play is our brain's favourite way of learning. - Diane Ackerman
Children learn and grow when they play, and it is not necessary that they need the best toys to play. At a young age, every child is instilled with curiosity and creativity, which helps keep the boredom away. The only thing they require is freedom, time, and someone to play with them. When we as parents spend time with our children playing indoor games, it teaches necessary skills, increases learning output, and provides happiness and satisfaction.
It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time of learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them. - Leo Buscalia
