Beyond stimulating young minds to be receptive to learning, play is a necessary component of brain development for children. “Not only is it an incredible source of fun and socialization, but play is also crucial to children’s learning and development. Their intellectual, physical, and social-emotional abilities emerge and are strengthened through play,” says Katie Chiavarone, blogger and author of The Undeniable Power of Play: 101 Tips, Activities and Play-Based Learning Strategies to Engage Your Child. “It is in the context of play that children test out new knowledge and theories. They reenact experiences to solidify understanding. And it is where children first learn and express symbolic thought, a necessary precursor to literacy. Play is the earliest form of storytelling. And, it is how children learn how to negotiate with peers, problem-solve, and improvise.” What the research says about play-based learning Everything at KidZania has been created to engage, educate and entertain the kids with over 60 role-play activities available. Children in academic programs have been shown to score higher on standardized tests than their counterparts but this gap closes by first grade

A chord is a combination of three or more notes played together to produce a distinct sound. While chords are the foundation of a guitar education, it’s possible to play chords on bass, as well. The strings on a bass correspond with the first four strings of a guitar. So, many guitar chords that make use of only the first four strings can be played on bass. How To Play Bass Scales This sprawling four-storey indoor adventure park has a reputation for providing a spectacular range of activities for children aged 1 to 12. Unfortunately for Android users, Trueplay is only available for iOS users and it doesn’t seem like Sonos is going to bring the feature to Android devices any time soon. Sonos says there are just too many types of microphones on Android phones to make Trueplay calibration work across so many devices. Bummer. Performance Watching Revenge of the Sith’s opening space battle, for example, created a fantastic sense of explosions and detritus flying to our left and our right, along with the satisfyingly low rumble of Star Destroyers in the distance. For most users, we feel the bass quality and quantity is good enough from the Playbase itself. Watching Casino Royale, explosions and foot steps sounded much more realistic and visceral than playing off the TV’s speakers.

But will my child be ready for kindergarten?

Even if it looks like your kid is just having fun, play has a major impact on their development in every way. The only significant gap in the Sonos arsenal is high-res music, which the company resolutely doesn’t support. The argument is that hi-res stuff is still too variable in sound quality, which is a good point, but with MQA finally gaining some traction it would be good to one day see it supported.

They have SEND sessions for kids age 0 to 12 which comes with free admission for two adults and two kids, as long as one of them has SEN. The narrow channel of sound that you’re probably used to is transformed by the Playbase into something airy and spacious, with it’s 3.1 array doing a quite remarkable job of convincing your ears you’ve got speakers in the far-left and far-right corners of your room. Certainly you wouldn’t expect an all-in-one unit this slim and compact to manage that.Review: Natural History Museum’s Fantastic Beasts exhibition to explore how nature inspires myths and magic July 20th | by Tine
