Soft play
The benefits of soft play
Improve gross and fine motor development
Children learn two types of motor development: gross motor development and fine motor development. Gross motor and fine motor development involve learning delicate tasks, such as balancing or moving small things with their hands.
Soft play helps children develop all these skills as there are so many activities on offer. Climbing over obstacles and navigating the twists and turns is a delicate task. It is this combination of skills that makes soft play so essential for a young person’s development.
Enhance emotional and social skills
Having plenty of opportunities to interact with other children is a great way to enhance your child’s emotional development.
Playing in a soft play area is often a time when children get to be independent. It offers a safe place for them to explore the world and start building friendships with other children. They can also learn a lot by playing with children their own age in a soft play environment.
Improve the quality of sleep
One of the biggest benefits of soft play is that it offers year-round fun which will never be hindered by poor weather meaning the children get the exercise they need.
Creativity
One of the many benefits of soft play is how it can nurture and encourage creativity. Adding a fort, playhouse or tunnel can really add to the experience and makes a great prompt for storytelling and theme. Children can interact in a positive way, really engaging their brains.
