Learning through play

Learning through play is not limited to learning ABC's and 123's. This board includes pins regarding learning in a hands-on way. Learning through play can include learning academics through hands-on and engaging experiences, but it also includes risky play, play that leads to critical thinking and creative thinking, and play that teaches other life skills. These playful experiences are geared towards babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.
