The Magic of Play - How Babies Learn Through Joy

Every giggle, every peek-a-boo, every splash in the bath — it all matters more than you think.

For your baby, play is work. It’s how they practice problem-solving, explore sensations, and develop language and coordination.
Even newborns play — through sounds, smiles, and watching your reactions.

When you join in, you’re doing more than entertaining. You’re helping build pathways in their brain that connect emotion, movement, and learning.

And for toddlers, play teaches independence and creativity. The mess, the noise, the curiosity — it’s all part of how their mind learns to connect cause and effect.

So let things get a little silly.
Your laughter tells them that learning can be joyful.
