What Play is Silly Play?

Well, this could be pretty subjective. For one, building a tower with lego bricks may be silly; while others may argue that your daughter could be a future architect. Cuddling dolls and setting up their doll house is considered to be silly play by some, but only for boys. Pray, why, if I may ask? Learning to hula hoop on one arm or one leg – would you call that silly?

To put things into perspective, none of the above can be blindly categorized into ‘silly play’. Building a tower out of lego bricks could work on strengthening your little one’s fine motor muscles, if not turning her into an architect (who knows?) one fine day. Playing house, for both girls and boys, teaches them role-playing in a group, and social skills are extremely important in a child’s early years. Hula hooping is fun and keeps them fit, even helping them in coordinating different parts of their body at the same time.

To put it in a nutshell, no play is silly play. Allow your kids to explore and observe, learn and experiment. What’s more, the goofier they behave, the more fun it is, and isn’t that what childhood is all about?
