"Play is a child’s natural way of experimenting, learning, rehearsing, and mixing real with fantasy.

It is an integral part of childhood development across physical and cognitive domains, and is a vital part of all our lives whatever our age.

Using play as the medium to express themselves and what they are experiencing, makes sense to children.

Children can play what they struggle to say, children can play to explain their way.  Through play children can discover and rehearse different ways of understanding and coping with difficult feelings, leading to a healthier and happier way of being" (PTUK , n.d).
