Is there anything better than playing?
For us adults this question may have an answer that is not so obvious, after all, playing is something that many do not allow themselves when they reach a certain age. But when we are talking about children, the answer is certain: There is nothing better than playing.
To play is to allow the child to know the universe that surrounds him, exploring the real and imaginary world, expressing his emotions and learning how to develop them. You can't think of a childhood without "playing" it.
