But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.&#8221; &#8211; Mr. Rogers<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Children have had more time to play lately.\u00a0 Parents have sent me pictures of their children building forts, fishing, cooking scrambled eggs and pancakes, planting gardens and playing in the mud.\u00a0 These are examples of serious learning.<\/p>\n<p>Children develop their imagination, confidence, emotional flexibility and social skills through play. Play also stimulates problem solving skills, and creative and critical thinking skills.\u00a0 \u00a0So, let&#8217;s encourage play.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Communities are places to play.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Where do you play in your community?<\/p>\n<p>These pictures are of places to play in the community of Burnaby.\u00a0 Can you tell your grown-up the names of these
