Hello,
Play is an essential part of childrens's lives, play allows children to explore their feelings and the world around them. It encourages children to act out familiar and unfamiliar roles / situations. It developes language, communication, literacy, social skills and many more. It allows childrens imaginations to develop and also teaches children that people around them are different and have different ideas/ways of doing things, children need to learn to negotiate / learn to share etc. Think about developing motor skills -
fine/gross , scissors, climbing, dough (manipulative skills). Play will develop childrens awareness of living in a multicultural society by using cultural props resources, celebrating festivals etc. When children learn new skills, make friendships, have fun , they have high self esteem and will be more willing to try new things.
Hope this helps

Thanks Cosmos 23 that has been a great help

The role of play is important in development, when considering what children of different ages need. Play is a key way in which children learn about themselves and others. It is also an important way in which children learn many skills that will help their development. A good example of this is a baby playing with a rattle. The sound if the rattle helps the baby learn about sounds, but because it is interesting, it also makes the baby want to reach out and touch it. Every time the baby shakes the rattle, the baby is learning control of the hands.


With older children, play helps to develop different skills. It helps children feel in control, and learn how to problem solve and to be with others. These are important skills as they help children in later life learn how to be independent, to negotiate and to socialize.

I hope this helps.
