[quote=Anonymous]Kids play is literally their work. When kids play, they're not just having fun, they're learning about the world. Building blocks are related to science, physics, architecture. Legos build fine motor skills and following directions. Art supplies promote creativity, fine motor skills, growing different sides of the brain. Dolls and pretend play are contributing to their language development and understanding of social interactions. If you limit play you're limiting their potential. Childhood is so short. Soon they'll be foregoing legos for iPads and it's less chaotic, less messy, but not as good for their growing brains. Invest in their future selves now because later you'll be worried about their ability to focus and delay gratification because they're on their phones all the time. [/quote]
