When I was a kid, creative play usually involved something artistic such as dancing, acting, drawing or music. The importance of creative play is not lost on today’s kids. \u00a0In addition to physical development, playing can promote sensory exploration, increased motor skills, mental development and new ways of thinking and problem solving. One of the most important things we can provide our kids is a variety of activities that are based on a child’s interest and ideas. That’s why, I fully support creative play through the use of technology such as the one revealed on platforms such as https:\/\/vrtodaymagazine.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, my family and I got to check out\u00a0digiPlaySpace<\/a><\/strong> at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. The exhibit focuses on exploring our senses, playing make-believe, and textile play, all enhanced through technology and digital media. It’s such a great way to provide kids an opportunity to explore and gain a better understanding of the world around them.\u00a0If you want to witness imaginative and creative play at its best, you need to check it out too!<\/p>\n

My boys couldn’t get enough of exploring all of the different exhibits. As soon as we entered, they\u00a0enjoyed digitally driving a variety of construction trucks to build castles and ice-cream houses (yes, an ice-cream house!) by playing Sago Mini on the iPads.<\/p>\n

From there, things only got more interesting and unique. As a family, we explored outer-space by dressing up in special material and playing in front of a green screen.<\/p>\n
