These activities promote teamwork, cooperation, and positive social interaction, helping children build friendships and confidence.
Improves Cognitive Skills: Markings that involve problem-solving, strategy, and memory-based activities stimulate cognitive development. Challenges such as mazes, number grids, and phonics trails enhance critical thinking, decision-making, and concentration while keeping learning enjoyable.

These spaces encourage children to express themselves, develop storytelling skills, and explore their creativity through movement and role-playing activities.

Active play has been linked to improved focus and emotional well-being in children.
