The Benefits of Play
Research from the NHS has found that exercise and fresh air can significantly improve your mental health. In a study conducted by the University of Essex, it was discovered that exercising outdoors was associated with improvements in both self-esteem and mood. With the rise in technology, it is becoming even more important to encourage children to play outdoors.
Sensory play is just as important as outdoor play. Sensory activities at a young age allow children to explore and investigate. It has been discovered that sensory play helps to develop nerve connections in the brain, as well as the development of speech and motor skills.
By creating a safe and vibrant space in your home, you can help to teach your child vital skills which they’ll carry with them through life.
