Child development resources to help children reach their full potential through play

Having fun while we learn

Life can sometimes be challenging and overwhelming for children, parents, teachers, and therapists alike. Play is a wonderful way to escape the pressures of life and experience the freedom of creativity. Playful Tulip is a place where we share our developmental adventures and hope to inspire natural playful learning. We would like to promote a world where play is the foundation for developing young children and where we, as adults, are free to have fun with them.

Play is a wonderful way to help children grow and learn, but not only that, it creates magical moments in life where children, and the adults in their lives, can connect and grow together.  Life certainly is not all rainbows and unicorns, the daily struggle is real, but by using playfulness it is possible to turn a power struggle into a fun bonding moment.
