    1. Play is the primary way toddlers learn and develop language skills. They engage in parallel play where they play independently near other children using toys to act out scenarios. 2. Toys should be age appropriate to support increased mobility like push toys, riding toys, and swings as well as outlets for aggression like toy hammers. Puzzles and blocks help develop fine motor skills. 3. Play serves purposes like physical development, socialization, stress relief, education, and moral development. It should be freely chosen and without rules to support constructive learning.
