Several types of play are utilized in pediatric settings to address different aspects of development:
- Sensory Play: Activities that engage the senses, such as playing with sand, water, or textured materials. - Motor Play: Physical activities like running, jumping, and climbing that help develop gross motor skills. - Constructive Play: Building blocks, puzzles, and other activities that enhance cognitive and problem-solving abilities. - Social Play: Group activities that promote social skills and cooperation. - Pretend Play: Role-playing scenarios that help children understand social roles and improve language skills.
