The Power of Play — How Hands-On Learning Helps Your Child Grow

Tiny hands big curiosity!

At Cocomimi, we know that play is not just fun—it’s how children learn, explore, and develop every day. When little hands mold playdough, stack blocks, or explore a wooden puzzle, something amazing is happening: their brains are growing, their creativity is expanding, and they’re building skills that last a lifetime.

Why Play Matters

• Boosts Motor Skills: Rolling, squishing, stacking, and balancing helps children strengthen tiny muscles in their hands and fingers, which supports writing, drawing, and everyday tasks.

• Fuels Creativity and Problem-Solving: Open-ended play gives children space to imagine and invent — whether turning a block into a car or creating a mini city from wooden bricks.

• Supports Emotional and Social Growth: Play teaches empathy, communication, sharing, and how to handle emotions.

• Lays the Foundation for Learning: EYFS (UK) and Montessori principles emphasize that through play, children develop early numeracy, language, and reasoning skills in a joyful, hands-on way. Link to other studies

Curated With Care

At Cocomimi, we don’t make the toys ourselves — we curate them. Each product is carefully selected from trusted sources to support your child’s developmental milestones. Curated with care. Chosen for learning. Loved by little hands.

The Takeaway- Play is the heart of learning. Choose thoughtfully, play joyfully, and watch your child grow in every direction—physically, socially, creatively, and emotionally.
