I find Erik Erikson's Stages of Development as it helps us understand children's development more thoroughly.
If the stage is handled well, the person will feel a sense of mastery, which is sometimes referred to as ego strength or ego quality. If the stage is managed poorly, the person will emerge with a sense of inadequacy in that aspect of development.

Constructivist View of Play (Piaget)
Children have chances to do hands-on experiences which help children develop ideas. Moreover, with the support of adults, the children will get holistic development for their future.

Skinner's Theory of Behaviourist Perspectives
Skinner conceptualize play as a learned response to a set of stimuli and it was also seen as problem-solving behaviours because of its complex and investigative features.
This theory relates to children a lot because children tend to have misunderstandings with their peers during play, and that is when they are taught how to problem-solve. Another way in which they are involved in problem-solving is when they play puzzle games.

Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory that infants develop through social and cultural interactions. Children are exposed to a group of adults including parents and teachers, and depending on the culture and environment of the child, they may be shaped/moulded in their development.

Piaget - I think that constructivist play theories made an impact as it emphasizes on hands-on experiences which helps children to explore and learn from their experiences. Through play, children are able to be more pro-active instead of just being passively accepting information.

Piaget's theory of play is more relatable. He suggested that children's play and their intellectual development are keenly intertwined. As children grow and develop, their play environment should too. From his 4 stages of cognitive development, we can see that as the child grows, the way they explore, interpret and understand the world starts to get more and more advance.

I like Piaget's theory of play. It impacts  as integral to the development of intelligence in children. According to Piaget, plays encourage further cognitive and language development.

Vygotsky as I believe that when a child does dramatic/role play, it shows what the child already knows (through exposure, prior experiences, what they see) and they recap what has already been taught in the classroom setting. Providing the tools and props in the learning corner will help the child to use the items creatively of which they would learn from one another. Learning through roleplays will give a better understanding on the social life and the rules in their communities.

Bandura - social learning theory
Playing with peers allows a lot of opportunities for socialising and interacting. Children can observe, learn and adapt to their peers. They get exposed to different situations, learn how to problem solve, and use words to convey their message.

Freud's Psychoanalytic Play theory
(A child working out from past traumatic event in effort to correct or master event at his satisfaction)
This theory is relatable as children are constantly learning from their mistakes and it is seen as a driven motivation for them to want to better themselves through their play and get the satisfaction
