Kids learn through play. They learn best when they are engaged and that usually means they're having fun! Frequent readers here will know how much I value hands-on play based learning activities for young children so you can imagine how thrilled I was to be invited to contribute an idea in a new ebook with a group of other play based bloggers! The book is called ABCs and 123s and focuses on building early literacy and maths skills through play in early childhood.
