By choosing certain play activities for your child, you can incorporate their senses and emphasize certain domains but still keep the play fun and engaging. 
Physical development can happen during many play activities. Fine motor skills are developed when building with blocks, when putting on clothes for dress up, drawing and coloring, pouring and molding in a water and sand table, and many more activities.
Cognitive development happens in play because children have to problem solve, have to ability to create new things, and use their imagination. Children can also explore and learn about the world with activities outside or participate in real-life activities by copying their parents.
Social and emotional skills are developed when playing with other children. The child has to wait their turn, learn patience, learn to share, and interact nicely with other children. Children can also develop emotions on their own when experiencing pride when they build a tower or disappointment when the tower falls.
Language development happens during play when children have to communicate with other students. They may also come up with stories when playing dress up and have their characters or dolls talk to each other.]]> 2022-09-20 03:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rogerskate12345/cj8z1sgyqwu0lrkq/wish/2304146542 rogerskate12345 https://padlet.com/rogerskate12345/cj8z1sgyqwu0lrkq/wish/2304154347 The five senses are important when a child is playing because the senses are how we see and explore the world and how young children learn new things. Babies learn by putting things in their mouths and toddlers learn by touching and exploring. Using the senses makes play and learning an immersive experience as well as a fun and memorable one. Creative play helps a child’s sensory development by getting more use out of the senses. Experiencing different tastes and smells that they would not ordinarily come across helps develop those senses. Touching new things and making things with their hands helps develop their motor skills. Sensory play is also great for children with special needs because if one of their senses is missing or not as strong, incorporating their other senses will help to strengthen them and help the child learn without feeling left out.]]> 2022-09-20 03:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rogerskate12345/cj8z1sgyqwu0lrkq/wish/2304154347
