Types of play

 Unoccupied Play

Unoccupied play primarily occurs in infants, from birth to three months. This is the first stage of play, and to the untrained cyc, likely docsn’t look like play at all.

Solitary (Independent) Play

Solitary play is just what it sounds like your child playing alone. This type of play is important because it teaches a child how to keep themself entertained, eventually setting the path to being self-sufficient.

Onlooker Play 

Onlooker play is when a child simply observes other children playing and doesn’t partake in the action. Your child may watch what you or other adults are doing as well.

Parallel Play

Put two 3-year-olds in a room together and this is what you are likely to see: the two children having fun, playing side by side in their own little worlds.

It doesn’t mean that they don’t like one another, they are just engaging in parallel play. This type of play begins around age two and differs from playing together in that neither child trics to influence the play of the other.

Associative Play

Slightly different from parallel play, associative play, which commonly begins between ages three or four, also features children playing separately from one another.
