Don’t Let Them Take Away Play
Jeff and Tasha Johnson
“Play is the foundation of all early learning; children learn by playing with their environment. Their fingers, toes, and mouths are their first playthings. As knowledge of the world grows, so does the list of items integrated into their play: stacking cups, blocks, paint, crayons, dolls, pots, pans, and cardboard boxes. They also learn by playing with ideas, feelings, and language. Play is an amazing and natural process.”
