CONCENTRATION & FOCUS  Open-ended play is a great way of developing a childs motivation to complete a task. This can prove to be a valuable motivating factor and children may be more prone to focus for longer periods of time when their learning is self-guided. INDEPENDENT LEARNING  Encouraging independent learning helps a child to develop important problem-solving skills without relying on outside help. BOOST MOTOR SKILLS  Connecting the pieces together and using the space to draw and write is a great way of helping children to explore space and improve their motor skills and hand-eye coordination in a fun and gentle way. BUILD CONFIDENCE  Enjoying the process of play and learning new ideas and skills is a great way to help children build confidence and feel more comfortable in a learning environment.
