Learning Through Play
"The best learning happens when children don't even realise they're learning."
π Did You Know?
Children learn more in meaningful, hands-on play than they do from being told what to do.
Every activity can develop language, maths, creativity, confidence and problem-solving skills.
πΏ
People often ask me...
"But when do the children actually learn?"
The answer is...
All day, every day. π€
At Little Wildflowers, learning doesn't happen by sitting at a table completing worksheets.
Instead...
π§Ί Building a tower develops problem-solving and early maths.
π΅ Hosting a teddy bears' tea party encourages communication, sharing and imagination.
πΏ Collecting leaves introduces patterns, textures and the natural world.
π Reading together builds language, confidence and a lifelong love of books.
π¨ Painting, pouring, scooping and exploring strengthen little hands ready for writing in the future.
As a qualified EYFS Primary School Teacher with a Master's in Early Years, I know that children learn best when they're engaged, curious and having fun.
Every invitation to play has a purpose behind itβeven if it simply looks like children enjoying themselves.
Because childhood shouldn't be rushed.
It should be filled with wonder, laughter, discovery and plenty of opportunities to learn through play.
That's exactly what I'm creating here at Little Wildflowers at No.96. πΏ
πΌ Thought of the Day
"Play isn't a break from learning... play is how children learn best." π€
π¬ I'd love to know...
What was your favourite game to play as a child?
Mine was making little worlds with sticks, leaves and tiny treasures from the garden. πΌπ
π€ Love,
