Playskool: More Than Play

Being a mom is the single most important job of my life and closely intertwined with that is my job as a physical therapist.  I am forever on the lookout for toys that are not only educational but help with physical development.    I love the fact that Playskool is emphasizing their toys are more than play.

Play is nature’s preschool. PLAYSKOOL was founded on that simple idea more than 80 years ago, and today, experts in the field of child development agree. 

Play gets little ones up and active. Play stimulates the senses, engages the imagination, encourages curiosity, and empowers children’s sense of self confidence by allowing them to discover the world at their own pace. 

And play does something else too… 

Play lays down important foundational skills needed for advanced learning like reading, writing, mathematics, critical problem solving, and conceptual thinking, to name just a handful. 

We hope to show you how your child learns through play. Because behind all those giggles are the foundations of your child’s physical, intellectual, and emotional development… foundations that will last a lifetime.

Play is more than just having fun. Play also provides kids with a chance to practice important skills. Click on the Play Skills below to learn more.

Playskool also has some great videos on You Tube which illustrates the benefits of play…click here to view.

I love the above play skills…every single one of them is so important to a child’s physical development!  We have many Playskool toys and I have always liked how educational and active they are for my boys.
