Why Free Play?

 Why is play important?  We all know it is, but why?

Vygotsky (1967) would tell you that, through sociodramatic play in particular, both children’s cognitive development and higher mental functions (e.g., inhibition) are strengthened as they navigate through the play situation and operate within the zone of proximal development.
