Why Active Play Matters for Young Children
For children ages 3 to 6, moving from passive screen time to active play is essential for healthy growth and development. During these early years, children learn best by doing—through movement, exploration, and real-life interaction.
Active play builds strong muscles, coordination, and motor skills while also encouraging creativity, communication, and social-emotional development. Unlike screen time, which often limits physical and social engagement, hands-on play experiences spark imagination and support problem-solving.
Making time for active play each day helps young children build the foundation they need for lifelong learning, confidence, and well-being.

Passive Screen Time vs. Hands-On Play
Why Hands-On Activities and Active Play Make a Difference:
For children ages 3 to 6, learning happens best through movement, exploration, and play. Hands-on activities like building, sorting, painting, or playing pretend help young learners develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and fine motor coordination.
Active play—such as running, hopping, or dancing—supports physical growth, builds confidence, and encourages cooperation with others. These experiences spark curiosity, strengthen the body and brain, and lay a strong foundation for future learning. When children engage with the world around them, they grow in meaningful and joyful ways.
