Children learn about the world through feeling, experience, feeling, communication, imagination, art, observation, research, and most importantly, through PLAY. The world around us stimulates the body and mind, and nature is the child's first teacher.
Imagine, a child is bent over water, be it a pond, a stream or even a puddle, and he sees his reflection there, tries to touch it - he dips his hand into the water - the water is cold, and suddenly his hand is bigger under the water! Then he tries to put it even deeper and fumbles for a pebble, slippery, cold, he throws it back into the water, making a splash. Can you imagine how many processes have happened and what experience the child has had in such seemingly simple actions?
Making a garage out of a table and a house for dolls out of a chair, a child has to plan his actions, show dexterity, solve arising problems, for him it is like repairing a door in a garage for an adult, only for a child it is the process itself that matters, not the end result.
