It also gives them the opportunity to 'let the children learn about other people's perspectives.' (Tracey E, 2022). For example, they might think about what a dad thinks when they're playing house. It can also be used as a fun way of of teaching positive behaviours.

As babies grow, they move beyond being content to simply feel and ponder objects, to wanting to find out what can be done with them. Toddlers have an urge to handle things: to gather, fill, dump, stack, knock down, select and manipulate in other ways. Household or kitchen utensils offer this kind of activity as every parent knows, and can occupy a child for surprising stretches of time"(Huleatt, 2012) children get curious about different objects and this activity is a great activity to do to let them explore different things that get used daily.

"Creative play is fundamentally important to our children’s physical, social, cognitive and emotional development. It is how children learn to perceive the world and understand their place in it" (Playdale Playgrounds, 2023). Play that is creative can provide a lot of benefits for a child including: 
  • "Hand-eye coordination
  • Sensory development
  • Exploring the imagination
  • Concentration & attention
  • Individual confidence
  • Social confidence
  • Understanding different environments"
