Abstract

"'Play is the most complete education process of the mind ... nature's ingenious device for insuring that each individual achieves knowledge and wisdom.' Therefore, it would seem that play and play materials are natural and necessary parts of any child's life. Through play, children learn about the world around them. As children grow and develop they begin to organize their play and become more cooperative, learning with and through others. Play involves the ability to reason, perceive and understand. It includes the feeling and the concepts, habits, skills, or behaviors of a certain cultural group."--First paragraph.
