"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood." - Fred Rogers.
Here are some snapshots of some play based learning that I happened to capture last week.
Shrinidhi working on tracing Alphabets on light box.

Lots of building activity took place.I love the play being so open ended and creative.
Here Sid and Nidhi have built animal enclosures with Magna Tiles.

| A barn with doors! |

| It is both a barn and zoo ;) |
Block play on mirror really adds a depth. This is an office building with provision for doors. Sid seems to be having a growing interest in building structures with doors nowadays.

Can you guess whom these Lego men and puppy are eagerly looking at?

| Audience are ready - start the show |
Here he is! The great conductor Signor Siddharth! :) I love how his focus is now on conducting Music. He used to be a musician playing air violins but now he has transformed himself into a conductor.

Shrinidhi's artistic renderings seem to be improving. She is trying her hand at drawing anything and everything she sees. This is her first attempt at drawing a person. We met Santa at our community Christmas party and she drew this immediately after reaching home. If Santa looks too thin, that's because he really was thin this year! :D

| This Santa closely resembles a carrot ;) |
