Grand Rapids Children's Museum understands that play is essential to development because it contributes to the overall well-being of children. It's through play that our youngest children learn to engage and interact in the world around them. Free play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, physical, cognitive, social and emotional strength. Play also allows children to create and explore a world they can master, conquering their fears while practicing adult roles. Through play, children can learn to work in groups, share, negotiate, resolve conflicts, and learn self-advocacy skills.
