The Surprising Science Behind Imagination and Play!

As a parent, we probably don’t overthink on why we need blankets for our children. They have their beds or cribs, and we always provide them with blankets. When it comes to sleep, we all know how vital it is for our children to have a great night’s rest. It helps their body repair itself and handles the unique, rapid growth of their bodies and minds.    

But did you know that specific blankets can help with another unique aspect crucial to our little one’s growth? This particular activity is crucial to our children’s development as proper nutrition, affection, and sleep?

That’s right! Imagination and play are another vital part of your child’s development! But what do blankets have to do with it? Let’s dive in!

Childhood is the era of eternal magic and shapeshifting! Where bedding can become intricate castles filled with dragons and knights, or a box can become a dread pirate ship navigating a wild ocean made of pillows or grass, and a clipped towel transforms into a superhero’s cape. Teddybears can become dinosaurs, blankets can become princess gowns, and every day turns into the fantastical with ease.

What looks like wholesome, wildly creative fun for most adults is significant and vital for children’s development. When our kids use their vast imaginations during active play, their brains develop essential psychological and emotional capacities that help them process and understand the world in which they live and their relation to it. Imagination and play are the actual building blocks to lessons that teach them how to problem-solve, create new possibilities, and change the world someday.

According to many child psychologists, the importance of imagination in all areas of child development can’t be overstated. Imaginative play allows our children to tap into their most creative sides without any boundaries in a way that is much more freeing than what we may do as adults.

When our children engage their imagination, they create visual images in their mind’s eye that allow them to explore other imagery and ideas without being constrained by the physical world’s limits. Children get to explore both the physical world with their imagination and their inner selves, which helps them engage in modes of speech, attaching words to emotional experiences, process how they feel, and develop an empathetic understanding of the world around them.

Several studies have shown that imagination and play can:

• Foster important social qualities like cooperation.
• Encourage empathy
• Foster appreciation for others and their feelings.
• Express more emotional engagement, thoughtfulness, and understanding.

All that and the fact that play is just simply fun for them and fun for us to watch as parents! So you can clearly see how it is so vital for our kids to embrace their imagination and play.
