Functional Play Skills

Functional play helps children learn how to use toys and everyday objects in meaningful ways. These skills are essential for learning, communication, and social interaction.

What are functional play skills?

Functional play refers to the ability to use objects correctly and purposefully. For example, pushing a toy car, stacking blocks, or using pretend items like a spoon or cup during play.
