Play is an important foundation for learning, growth, and connection in early childhood. Through play, children build their language skills, social skills, problem-solving abilities and creativity. While children grow, their play will develop along with them. Developmentally, changes in object and social plan can be described by stages of play that children typically move through as they age.

Our Play Development Handout outlines the stages of play, details what families can look for in their child’s play, and provides practical tips to use at home. Click the button below to download the Play Development Handout:
