Benefits of Soft Play:
1. Cognitive Development and Growth - One of the main benefits of soft play is its enhancement of the thought process; soft play helps children understand cause and effect. Soft play also helps a child to gain a comprehension between the relationship of items and hand-eye coordination.
2. Motor Stimulation - Children learn two types of motor development; gross motor development and fine motor development. Gross motor development includes things like running, jumping, skipping and climbing. Fine motor development involves learning delicate tasks, such as balancing or moving small things with their hands. Soft play helps children develop all of these skills as there are so many activities to offer.
3. Improve communication skills - Children communicate in a number of ways. At soft play, your child has the choice of whether they will explore the obstacles alone or with others. Some of the equipment will encourage communication with each other to work together to solve a problem.
4. Problem Solving and Adaptability - A new environment, such as a soft play offers new opportunities to experiment and tackle problem-solving. These new situations require creativity to try new approaches and techniques to adapt and absorb what works in these new surroundings.
5. Exercise and Sleep - When a child is in a soft play area, all their senses are stimulated. A soft play area is bright, colorful and most importantly, a fun space where a child can be free to explore! They can discover each piece of sensory equipment and run around as much as they want to. In turn, this should improve their quality of sleep that night – a positive result for parents and guardians!
