You would agree with me when I say parents are a child’s first playmate. So what does that make you then to your child – well that makes you extra special!
Whether you’re hiding in a game of peekaboo or turning the living room into an imaginary pirate bay, you’re building trust and closeness. And you’re helping your child develop all kinds of skills that’ll set them up to be healthy, happy grown-ups.
I love this quote by Carl Jung
“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.”
As per the LEGO® Play Well Study 2022
95% of children said that playing helps them try new things
