TYPES OF PLAY

SOLITARY PLAY

PARALLEL PLAY

COOPERATIVE PLAY

Play builds your child's creativity and imagination as well as other skills. Whether it is simply rolling a ball back and forth with a sibling or putting on a costume and imagining she's an astronaut she's developing important social skills such as learning to take turns, cooperation, and getting along with others.Cooperative play is where all the stages come together and children truly start playing together.
Parallel put two 3-year-old in a room together and this is what you are likely to see: the two children having fun, playing side by side in their own little world. Solitary play is just what it sounds like—when your child plays alone.
