Kids start learning things right from the moment they are born. In the first 6 years of their life they absorb a huge amount of information, first - through senses, then - through communicating with others. Hearing about something is one way of learning.

As we know, so many people – so many opinions. Each person your child talks to would tend to share their own thoughts and ideas. 

Creative, or free, play encourages kids’ imagination and creativity, involves all their muscles, and contributes to their development. It helps kids discover themselves and explore the world around them. Although it’s called creative, it should be carefully organized by an adult. In this case children would be able to fulfill their creative potential.

Play is children’s most natural state of development. It can be either creative or regulated by rules, as, for example, chess. Creative play is free from any rules or conditions, and it is this type of play that causes a lot of interest. Researchers throughout the globe study the subject matter in order to understand how it influences children’s development. 

Creative play, unconditioned by any rules, involves kids’ whole body and senses. They manipulate and touch various materials and objects. 

We all love stories, and children particularly. You might have noticed that kids, which love talking, listening to stories without interrupting because they are fun, engaging, and exciting.  Besides the fun factor, storytelling has a number of other benefits for kids, no matter whether you read a story or tell it by memory. 

First of all, storytelling creates a special bond between parents and children. This is a way to spend time together, discuss a chosen book, and do something creative afterwards.
