Play KitsWe know that children learn best through play. Research shows that play is critical for all children - even infants. Through play children explore their world, test their skills and their bodies, and try out new ideas and different activities. Children need lots of time to play, and they benefit from having loving adults involved with them when they play. These simple Play Kits, utilizing primarily every-day household materials, were created by Extension specialists to provide hands-on activities for parents or childcare providers to use with children.
