Promoting play through a toy lending library: A pilot program
Play is universally recognized as a necessary process for child development. The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) asserts, “It is a child’s “job”...to play to develop physical coordination, emotional maturity, social skills to interact with other children, and self-confidence to try new experiences and explore new environments” (AOTA, 2012). However, some children have limited play opportunities and do not engage in a variety of play.
