Themed element
Cognitive
set a tangible theme and thus spur dramatic play. Dramatic play is a great trainer of language skills.
Sand and water play units offer manipulative items and details that assist sand play: plain tables to build materials on, and not least bowls and scoops to fill and empty. The young child will play with sand just putting it into buckets and emptying the buckets again. The slightly older child will start molding sand into shapes, using it for pretend play. Apart from the intensity and concentration going into the construction play, the child experiences a sense of achievement from having built something. This spurs communication and paves the way for role play and pretend games.
Play Value
Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child “want” or developmentally “need” to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.
