Play for young children is not recreation activity,... It is not leisure-time activity nor
escape activity.... Play is thinking time for young children. It is language time.
Problem-solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time.
It is organization-of-ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body and his
social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met.
