Three benefits of building puzzles: 1. Physical skills from holding the puzzle pieces and turning them until they fit correctly into the space. 2. Cognitive skills are built as the child solves the problems of a puzzle. 3. Emotional skills. Puzzles can be tough and present a challenfe, children learn patience and are rewarded when they complete the puzzle.

Children have the right to play, regardless of their background.

Playing with play dough is great for developing fine motor skills. The malleable properties of play dough make it fun for investigation and exploration. Playing with play dough also exercises the small muscles in the hands and fingers which we use when drawing and writing. #WPD

Children learn the meanings of words from listening to adults read to them. During story time and conversation children hear adults repeat words. The more oral language experiences children have, a better understanding of word meanings they have. #storytime
