Learning at Home: Play
Play helps us learn and creates lasting positive memories during uncertain times.
Children love to play—anytime, anywhere, and with almost anything. As they do so, they’re exploring the world around them and practicing important skills crucial to brain development. Grown-ups benefit from play, too! Laughter and silliness can help reduce stress and strengthen bonds between us.
