Hello Amazing Friends!
Did you know that playtime is one of the most essential activities for your baby?
During the early years, babies' brains form many more connections than the brain will ever need.
Connections that are used regularly, through play and other experiences, become stronger and branch out into more complex networks.
Connections not used regularly are eventually eliminated through pruning (similar to how you prune a plant to promote new growth).
This is why regular play is so essential! It gives babies and young children opportunities to experience new things and practice new skills, which strengthens those connections made and also promotes new connections.
