How do kids benefit from playground play versus free play or structured activities?
There are many benefits to both free play and structured activities, and striking a balance is important. Free play encourages kids to use their brains in a different way, to think independently and to create their own fun and activities. This helps kids alleviate boredom and teaches them how to learn and have fun on their own and with others. Free play also encourages interaction with nature and the outside world.
