My connections to play


"Whoever wants to understand much, must play much." Gottfried Benn



When I think back to my childhood, the toys that I recall playing with the most are my dolls and kitchen utensils. I love to  act mummy and daddy prepare the food to my doll or act teacher to teach my doll. I also like to rubber band skipping with my friends during my  outdoor play time.

Play is very different from today then my childhood.  Children rather stay in the house and play video games rather than play outside and use their imagination. Some of mothers tell me that their children love Ipad's game very much and Ipad is the favorite toy  for their children.  It is hard for them to pretend and create games and things by themselves. 

It is important for children to play daily.  They can learn so many things as they play.
