One reason Recreation inSites loves KOMPAN Play Equipment is because they report on play research and practice relevant for teachers, recreation professionals, day care specialists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, environmental designers, and many others. They study the benefits of playground equipment, strategies for keeping kids healthy, inclusive play ideas and designs, how play supports education, and information on international approaches to keeping children happy and healthy. They recently featured this “recommended daily activity for children and youth” from the World Health Organization (WHO).
When children engage with playmates in pretend play, social and emotional development takes place, and they come to understand concepts and problem solving when they identify, name, and discuss objects used in play.
Older kids practice their abilities in more sophisticated environments and take on more challenging play opportunities with peers involving rules negotiation, challenges, and, not least, laughter. Even parents and grandparents who find the time to play receive similar benefits, and they build memories that children will treasure for the rest of their lives.
