One of the most important areas of learning we want to encourage in our children is their imagination and creativity which is crucial for children’s development.
Open ended play begins very early on in a child’s life when they use objects to learn about the world around them with the freedom to discover and create with real resources in their play, not just toys.
We know that children usually prefer play that stimulates their curiosity and allows them to become engrossed in their own imagination and creativity
