“Play really is the work of childhood.” – Mister Rogers
During play, children are testing out ideas, learning and practicing new skills, and building relationships. When children seek to answer their own questions through playful experimentation, they are using critical thinking skills, and they gain a sense of understanding that makes play the most powerful tool for learning.
We’ve curated a variety of Museum tried-and-tested hands-on activities that can be done at home to promote learning while having fun together!
