**Region of Peel Literacy Specialist Registered Workshop**
Topic: Infant and Toddler Play
Ages Birth up to 30 months
Play is part of life. Through play children explore their world, discover how to get
along with others, test their skills and muscles, try out new ideas, and feel
competent enough to try different activities. Curiosity, self-esteem, language,
problem solving, mathematics, cooperation, endurance are all encouraged
through play. In all productive play the fun is in the doing. Children need lots of
time to pursue their own ideas, to do things their own way, to see what it’s like
to be someone else.
