General Knowledge
Children are naturally curious and eager to learn. Anyone who has tried to answer a child's many questions can attest to this. Play is, therefore, a great tool for developing general knowledge. All you need to do is vary the material and create opportunities for learning by using books, question-and-answer games, picture books or thematic activities with the appropriate support material. All these activities allow children to take control of the world around them, broaden their horizons, awaken their interests, develop their curiosity and activate several cognitive processes. This also promotes their social and emotional development. By observing the activities and games that children engage in, you can find ideas for activities and themes related to their interests and whose content and difficulty level will be adapted to them.
Concentration
Concentration is the ability to focus attention on a single subject. Whether with work, reading or play, the process is always the same, and it is essential for learning. However, the ability to concentrate varies greatly depending on age and neurological development. Play is a natural ally of concentration. Anyone who has observed a child playing can attest to this. Many things can stimulate concentration. First, it is important to provide the child with a favourable learning environment: limit noise, have adequate physical and material organization, and fit the task duration as well as the challenge level to the child's abilities. Encouraging the child to follow a path with their finger, closing their eyes so that they listen to sounds, and reminding them of some of the characteristics of the task are strategies that help develop concentration. Finally, asking the child what they did to complete a task allows them to apply their strategies in other contexts.
Fine Motor Skills
By manipulating pieces and fitting them together, children improve their dexterity, which prepares them to perform actions requiring more precise movements. A variety of activities help develop dexterity. Threading, drawing, cutting and manipulating various modelling clays gradually helps acquire the skills needed to master everyday gestures such as buttoning, lacing and zipping up and prepares children for writing. Preschoolers who do these types of activities will find it easier to trace letters.
