Play is an activity or activities done for enjoyment. Play in infants not only is important to their development, but it helps them build a bond with their parents or caregiver.There are several areas in which play in infants has the most impact.
Cognitive Development
- Playing with an infant is important for cognitive development. Cognitive development refers to memory, solving problems and making decisions. Touching and naming body parts such as the hands and feet can help infants develop cognitively.
Linguistic Development
- Linguistic development is the development of language. Linguistic development through play in infants includes singing to the infant while introducing them to a new toy and talking to them while playing.
Representational/ Symbolic Development
- Representation or symbolic development focuses on teaching infants actions that have a particular meaning, such as waving to represent goodbye. A simple representational/symbolic play activity is clapping their hands together in rhythm of a song.
Sensory Development
- Sensory development is the development of the five senses: taste, touch, sight, sound and smell. Play activities in infants that focus on sensory development can include playing with a toy that has bright colors to stimulate their sense of sight or toys that play soft music to stimulate their sense of sound.
Social Development
- Social development is acquiring the skills to interact with others. Play activities in infants that encourage social development are playing peek-a-boo, mimicking facial expressions and letting the infant observe his or her facial expressions in a mirror.
