Abstract: Play-based learning is an educational approach that uses play as the foundation for meaningful learning experiences. It supports the holistic development of children by enhancing cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills. Key elements include child-led activities, exploration, creativity, and teacher-guided interactions that extend learning. This method fosters curiosity, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration in a natural, engaging way. Grounded in developmental and educational theories, play-based learning allows children to make sense of the world around them while developing critical life skills. It is especially effective in early childhood and primary education, promoting deeper understanding through active, hands-on experiences.
