Constructive Play

What is constructive play? It's any type of play in which children manipulate their environment to create things! 

This can be drawing, painting, building structures with blocks (from the simplest stacking to complex structures), making mud pies or sand castles - the point is they are MAKING something!

Constructive play is incredibly powerful! It helps children explore the interaction between their ideas and the real world, learn how to execute a goal, understand the world, gain an understanding of mathematical and scientific principles, develop their imagination, build their self-esteem, and more!
