Play is not the reward for finishing learning; it is the mechanism. A child who is pretending to run a shop is practising negotiation, sequencing, vocabulary and self-control simultaneously, and doing it because it is enjoyable rather than because an adult asked.

Good places to start: toys for creative play and nurturing creative play at home.
