Play is a fundamental part of childhood that goes beyond mere fun; it is crucial for cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Through play, children explore their environment, learn new skills, and develop critical thinking.
Understanding the different types of play can help parents foster an enriching environment.
Open-ended play: encourages children to explore and create freely, without strict rules or predetermined outcomes. Danish by Design offers a curated collection of blocks, imaginative role-playing toys, and musical instruments, all designed to enrich this type of creative play.
Pretend play: involves role-playing and using imagination to craft scenarios and narratives. Danish by Design offers a variety of role-playing toys that nurture creativity, empathy, and social skills, helping children explore their world through imaginative play.
Sensory play: engages the senses and encourages exploration through tactile experiences. Danish by Design offers a selection of toys that promote sensory play, helping children develop fine motor skills and cognitive abilities while
having fun.
Social play: fosters interaction, cooperation, and communication among peers. Danish by Design offers toys for cooperative building and shared imaginative play, enhancing language skills and helping children navigate social dynamics.
Active play: emphasises physical activity, promoting health and gross motor skills. Danish by Design's wooden toys encourage active play, crucial for physical development and fostering a healthy lifestyle.
