The Power of Play
There’s So Much More Happening Than “Just Playing”
Service Description
Play is how young children explore their world, test ideas, develop skills and begin to understand themselves and others. This workshop helps parents and caregivers understand what children are actually learning through play — and how the adult can support that learning without taking over. What We’ll Explore: • Why play is so important • Child-led versus adult-led play • Sensory play • Imaginative and role play • Creative play • Open-ended play • Physical play • Fine motor play • How play supports language and communication • Problem-solving and confidence • How to extend an activity naturally • When to join in and when to step back Practical Element We’ll use toys and resources from your own home to explore different types of play and demonstrate how the same resource can often be used in several different ways. You’ll see how small changes in the way an activity is presented — and in the way an adult interacts — can completely change the play experience. What’s Included: • 90-minute in-home workshop • Hands-on demonstrations • Practical examples using your own resources • Personalised play ideas • Guidance on extending play • Q&A throughout • Digital workshop guide AED 750 | 90 Minutes | In Your Home
