Play is the work of children; at least, this is what Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget was famed for saying. And, as a child development researcher and founder of The Good Toy Guide I have to say, he's not wrong.
Piaget's theory of cognitive development viewed play as integral to the development of intelligence in children. His theory of play argues that as children mature, their environment and play should encourage further cognitive and language development.
