How do the examples engage children in questioning, exploring, and investigating the world around them? (Be as specific as possible!)
ReplyDeleteThe imagination Playground is a unique active creative play product for kids. It is unique, imaginative, and inspirational for kids and transforms any space into a child directed play. Children use soft, non toxic foam blocks that are 10X the size of regular wooden blocks to make different things. The enormous blocks are so unique and big that when kids see them they get excited to explore and investigate them. These blocks are safe, waterproof, mold resistance, and resistance to heat and sunlight. With the portable imagination playground, children use their cognitive thinking skills to build their imaginary castles, cars, trucks, or whatever they imagine of creating.
They engage in active play to create their own imaginary world. They explore various ideas with the blocks to create an imaginary world for themselves. The blocks are soft but firm enough for kids to make various projects like hospital, schools, library buildings, bridges, houses, restaurants, hotels, towns etc. When children create something they get excited. There is no doubt that play is important for healthy brain development. Kids develop social skills when they collaborate and interact to create their imaginary world. With these gigantic foam blocks, kids can create different thing alone or within a group. They can connect their individual products with others to make different and unique designs. When children engage with others they also develop important skills like problem solving skills, self control, vocabulary, language, and teamwork.
