About the cards
The Why Play? Activity Cards suggest play activities for children aged 0 to 5. These activities are based on content from the Encyclopedia on Early Childhood Development. This set of 24 cards complement Why Play? series of pamphlets which contains evidence-based early childhood development information for parents with young children.
- Each set of 24 double-sided cards offers a variety of simple and short activities to enjoy with young children on a day-to-day basis.
- The Cards come in four colors. Each color focuses on a skill competency to be fostered: autonomy, exploration, social skills, communication
- One side of each card highlights the purpose of the activity, i.e. what targeted skills develop or improve because of this specific activity
- The other side of the card describes the activity and the target age for that activity
