Physically - Fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination will develop by playing with small toys and resources such as blocks, beads and peg boards. Children’s gross motor skills, balance and movement will develop through energetic play activities., Intellectually - Children will develop thinking skills by touching and exploring the world around them. Concepts such as size, space, volume, texture and colour will develop through play activities such as painting, playing with water and craft activities. They will encounter cause and effect and how concepts can change e.g. how sand changes if water is poured onto it., Linguistically - Children develop communication skills by speaking to each other, and to people around them, and by listening to each other and to others. Imaginative play gives the children an opportunity to use language, such words and phrases that they do not understand but that they use during play activities., Emotionally - Play gives children an opportunity to attempt new things without the fear of being wrong and failing, so they develop confidence and self-respect - and feel good about themselves. Imaginative play gives children an opportunity to explore their emotions, and to express and act out how they feel., Socially - Children will learn to work as a team by solving problems when playing. Skills such as sharing, taking turns and listening to others' ideas will be mastered. By working in small and large groups, children will learn that they need to cooperate in order to accomplish tasks. As children get older, they use play as a means of socialising; they can escape the pressures of life and it is a way of relaxing. Children may prefer to play on their own or with others., Culturally - By playing, children will be able to learn about the world. They will be able to dress up in the role play area, or play different instruments from different countries. By doing so, they will consider how other children play and will raise their awareness of other cultures., Behaviourally - Children need access to challenging activities that will encourage them to concentrate and to play independently. On the other hand, it is essential that the activity is not too challenging as this may frustrate the child. If the child is enjoying himself/herself, they will learn. Bad behaviour often stems from boredom or frustration. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the activities are entertaining and varied.,
