Playtime is such a wonderful time for children, adults look at it in awe, remembering when they were young and free with that feeling of being able to conquer anything they want in this world.  How brilliant a time for our young generation: playing many types of games, fighting imaginary villains and dragons, dressing up as princesses, shopping for food just like Mom and Dad, playing in the cubby house, pushing their baby around in the miniature pram or just simply playing ordinary games with their favorite toys, it is all learning and development via play.  Playtime contributes to the development of many crucial life skills preparing today’s young brains for tomorrow’s adulthood challenges.

Sad to say, due to existing modern technology, playtime is starting to shrink.  Little ones are more exposed to devices, rather than the sweet radiant sun.  Children are becoming less imaginative and relying more on technology from an early age.

Here are a few benefits of playtime for parents to take note:

Playtime develops a toddler’s ability to interact with others.  They learn the concept of sharing, unity and cooperation at a very young age which assists them before they head off to school.

All activities and movements during playtime serve as great exercise for our children’s developing bodies such as bones, muscles and mind.  Engaging children in physical activity contributes to them becoming stronger physically and mentally.

Playtime starts as early as when a newborn starts to react to different movements, sounds and colors.  Try Salsa and Gigi’s Voice Activated Rainbow Night Light, designed to enable infants to react to the beautiful colors.

Enjoy every minute of playtime with your children, nurture them and watch them absorb, evolve and grow – the most amazing gift given to us is the precious time we are able to spend with our children.
