Why is it important to inspire children to explore?

It is important to stimulate children's desire to explore, which can contribute to their cognitive, affective, and ability development.

01、Promoting cognitive development

The desire to explore drives children to reach out, observe and learn about their surroundings and things.
In the process, they will continue to acquire new knowledge and enhance their awareness of the world, such as understanding the tactile sensation of different materials, the shapes and colors of objects, and so on.

02、Fostering creativity and imagination

When children are actively exploring, they think and make associations based on their discoveries and experiences that stimulate creativity and imagination For example, when exploring a new ride, they may think of different ways to play and create their own play scenarios.

04、Enhance emotional and social skills
