Four Hartford Blocks

“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.” – Carl Jung
“Children learn through doing – play is how they explore their world, learn how to assess risk, try things out, and get to know themselves.” – Beth Almiras
“Play stokes the creation of imagination, autonomy and social skills. And it’s just plain fun no matter the age.” – Bradley Calvert
“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play IS serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood. When chilren pretend, they’re using their imaginations to move beyond the bounds of reality. A stick can be a magic wand. A small child can be a superhero. ” – Fred Rogers
“The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.” – James T. Kirk
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” – George Bernard Shaw
