In artistic play the child uses a number of raw materials such as
modeling clay, scissors and colored pens, which help him to
develop fine muscles and how to control his hands, which will
prepare him for learning how to write. It also develops hand-‐eye
coordination and lets the child discover
the features of the things
he plays with.
Artistic play makes the child feel good about himself and
increases his self-‐confidence when he produces artwork and
receives encouragement, love and admiration from his parents,
especially when they display his artwork
in a special place in the
house.
Constructive play
This is a kind of quiet, individual play that gives the child the
opportunity to develop a fertile imagination and trains his
muscles to move, contract and expand, and so on.
This play can
take several forms. It is well worth investing in toys with which
the child can build, such as blocks, Lego and so on. The benefits of
constructive play include the following:
• Constructive play helps the child
to develop his mind and
thinking. This kind of play is connected to various stages
of the child’s physical and mental development. In the
beginning, this kind of play consists of placing things next
to one another. As the child develops intellectually, he
will try to place them on top
of one another in the form
of a pyramid or wall.
• Your child will feel happy if he can build any shape with
the things that he is playing with.
• Your child will learn skills that help to develop his
scientific thinking such as comparing, predicting,
observing,
analysing, the concept of balance, and
differences and similarities between shapes.
• Constructive play helps the child to learn basic
mathematical concepts such as classifying, sequence,
area and number.
