Time to Hide All the Gadgets and Decode the Kid’s Unique Play Style

You look behind the cushions on the couch to find a remote-controlled TV–once again–only to discover that another toy is hiding behind the couch. And it is at this moment when you are doubting your sane parent status, as your baby lets out a proud beam of a smile as if (s)he just finished an elite spy mission without going to an open play area.

Have you gone through it quite often at home?

Time out before you blame it on toddler mischief. Owing to that odd little performance? It may only be the beginning of your child genius. This is how Coco’s magical funhouse becomes the favourite place to cultivate play schemes.

Why is Coco’s the Go-to Place for Your Mini Explorer?

At Coco’s magical funhouse in Maryland we have created more than a play facility. We have provided a gymnasium to the mind, where parents will be able to interpret their child’s play behaviour and children are allowed to play, swing, jump, dig, wheel and be at their complete satisfaction.

Here’s how:

• Giant Soft Play = Schema Heaven

To kids who are strongly mired in the engulfing, enclosing, or trajectory schema, our cushy, climbable areas are heaven. They will burrow, scale and even jump with delight and all you will do is sit and drink your coffee because you should not be distracted because they are enjoying the day but also learning.

• Interactive Floor = Purposeful Play

The lights move, the patterns change and your child is a giggling blur of motion. That is not chaotic, that is cognitive development. Trajectory and rotation schemas are promoted by movement-driven games. And it is very cute how they go about stomping/crushing every bouncing frog they see on the screen.

• Arcade Games = Focus & Co-ordination

On one hand, somebody can claim that arcade games are merely noisy entertainment, on the other hand, we assert that they help to promote positioning and rotation schemas. Be it guiding online racecars or an attempt to remove online clowns, your child is developing fine motor and spatial skills while winning the prizes!

• Candy Shop = Sweet Prize

Well, all right–this one does more to make people smile than to make them science. However, who can blame the little explorers after all of that exciting brain building play they get a sour gummy worm (or a few).

Why is This Important to Them and You?

Knowing your child’s play scheme in a soft play area may be a game changer. Here’s why:

• Less frustration – You will no longer ask the question “why are they DO-ing that? but you will see the rationale.
• Greater attachment – You will be attaching them to play that really lights them up.
• More accommodating play arrangements – Be it home or Coco, just place an environment that is in their state.

And guess what, kids learn, play, and more when they are seen and heard. 

Play, Look and Laugh with Us at Coco’s

Before your next visit to Coco’s magical funhouse, instead of throwing your kids into the play space and hoping that everything will turn out just fine, be ready with a plan of action. Watch. Observe. Have them demonstrate to you what they get excited about. Be it their ducking into the soft play area tunnels, their delivery of the arcade tokens or their huge stumping on the interactive floor like tiny superheroes – all that makes sense.

And when you ever think, why do they continue doing this you should just remember that it is not that they are being naughty. They are geniuses.
