Driven to Discover: How Thinking Skills Develop Through Everyday Play and Exploration
Watch how thinking skills develop through everyday play and exploration. From Magic of Everyday Moments — Series 3.
During the first three years, children are learning about spatial relationships - or how things fit together - and use this skill to solve everyday problems.
Thinking skills – such as understanding cause and effect, how things fit together, classification, and symbolic thinking – begin developing in baby’s earliest days. Learn how everyday play and exploration support the development of thinking skills in young children by viewing this video.
