Why play is so important!
-
75% of brain development happens after birth, and 85% by age three
-
Every giggle, wiggle, and reach helps build connections in the brain
-
These connections support:
-
Movement and coordination (like crawling, standing, and walking)
-
Language and social skills
-
Emotional confidence and creativity
-
Problem-solving and early learning
