"Play
acts as an integrating mechanism which enables children to draw
on past experiences, represent them in different ways, make connections,
explore possibilities, and create a sense of meaning….It integrates
cognitive processes and skills which assist in learning. Some
of these develop spontaneously, others have to be learnt consciously
in order to make learning more efficient. We would all like children
to become successful learners."
- Bennett et al. (1996)
