Play is vey important
I know that you may be saying how can children learn through play?
Children reflect their experiences through their play. Giving children the right tools to play with will provide them with the skills that they need. Some things children will do naturally but you must provide the environment, tools and the experiences and the time.
Here Ajani is playing with different cars, trucks and they are different sizes also. ,he is being creative ,he is making decisions . He is learning how to focus, self regulation ,concentration and he is connecting those wires in his brain.
He is learning math ,and he is learning how to play alone . When he get to kindergarten the teacher will not have time for one on one independence is very important. However , he should also learn how to play with others. He must be able to socialize : Adaptive Social Behavior -Group activities. This begins when you have an infant. If your child is not in a childcare program you must take her to places where she can interact with children her age in a group settings. This is a skill that is need for kindergarten. Infants/toddlers do not like to be interrupted during play.
