Don't get me wrong, unstructured play filled with creativity and freedom is crucial to the development of all children. However, most of us don't work or play our best when we are surrounded by confusing clutter. Reducing clutter, rotating toys often, and categorizing toys according to their purpose can help children in so many ways. I have witnessed first-hand the type of magic a well-maintined play area can create!
- Increased attention
- Reduced hyperactivity
- Improved interaction and social skills
- Expanded language comprehension
- More speech output
- Improvements in pretend play
The list goes on!
