The Value of Play at Please Touch Museum
At Please Touch Museum, we encourage children to play and grow through the many experiences we offer. Play provides the foundation for basic life skills such as building relationships, cooperation, negotiation and compromise as well as providing opportunities for children to find out who they are and what they enjoy doing. Play offers an emotional outlet, develops the imagination, creativity, and cultivates problem-solving skills.
With young children playing daily at Please Touch Museum, we see that it is a process-driven way of creating, exploring and investigating the surrounding environment with adults, other children or by themselves. Play is a fun and imaginative way to become familiar with the world we live in.
Take the Play Experience home with you.
In addition to programming in the museum, we also take our enriching, museum-based learning experiences on the road to schools, daycare centers and other places where children learn. We encourage families and teachers to learn and play together with a variety of activities they can also do at home or in the classroom.
