🌟 In a play-based classroom, children aren’t just learning—they’re leading their own learning journeys! 🌟

This infographic beautifully captures the child’s role in play-based learning, where curiosity, creativity, and active engagement drive development. When children:
🔍 Investigate and experiment with hands-on play
📝 Explore literacy, numeracy, and real-world concepts through meaningful activities
🌱 Ask questions about their community, nature, and the world around them
🎭 Reimagine and arrange play materials to tell stories and construct meaning

…they’re building the critical thinking, problem-solving, and social-emotional skills that will last a lifetime.

As educators, our role is to create rich environments, offer open-ended resources, and honour children’s natural curiosity because play is not just fun, it’s how they learn best. 💡

I don’t care how advanced AI gets or how popular electronic devices are; never stop buying books and reading to children.
