5. What does âCreative Playâ mean?
⢠When children engage in creative play, they make up the
rules rather than adults. Not only are they free to use their
imaginations, create stories, act out scenes or invent a new
game, but this unstructured, self-directed play encourages
mental development and allows a child to express his
emotions. According to Todayâs Parent, children need at least
45 minutes of creative play every day, so create an
environment that encourages them to use their imaginations.
