Children always turn into "clay dolls" when they play. Why do such children like playing with mud so much?

Children always get dirty when playing with their peers. They like to roll in the mud and pile things in the sand. They unconsciously turned themselves into clay dolls, and parents had long frowned. But in fact, children love to play with sand not because children don't like cleanliness, but because sand can bring children a sense of security and have an inexplicable attraction to children, and such children will also express themselves.

First, the attraction of man and nature Children love to play with sand, which reflects the attraction of man and nature, especially for children. Basically, all children play with sand when they are young, and some even make themselves dirty. Nowadays, many toys on the market are made of natural materials, because children will naturally be attracted by nature and feel close to these things. After all, we are inseparable from nature.

For children, sand is a natural thing at your fingertips, which helps them express their inner feelings. They can mold what they want to express through sand. In the process of playing, they can always skillfully turn other strange children into their friends, so this is also a way for them to make friends.

Second, sediment can arouse children's emotions. It is also a good thing that children can feel nature and exercise their senses when they step on the sand barefoot. Especially for younger children, it is the best way to perceive the world through precipitation. When the sediment touches the child's hands and feet, it can stimulate the child's sensory learning. At the same time, the characteristics of sediments are very soft and the temperature is suitable. In summer, the temperature of sediment is relatively low, which can make children feel cool and can give them comfort and security. When a child's hand is put into the sand, it will become wrapped and give the child a sense of security.

Third, children will use this to express their inner feelings. Children always express their inner feelings through precipitation. Parents can also observe what patterns children will accumulate in the process of accumulating sediment. Some children like to build castles, some children may want to build Superman and so on. This is a way for them to express their inner feelings. Some children can't express their thoughts and needs through language, so they attach their emotions to the sediment by piling up. Because the sediment itself is of low structure, it can be piled up repeatedly, which can promote children's independent exploration, because children need to think about what to do next before they can express their ideas. Moreover, sediment is not easy to accumulate, and it is always loose. Children need to think about how to make its structure stable.

Parents may not like children getting dirty, but for children, it is a way for them to communicate with others and express their inner feelings. Playing with sand can help them explore and discover themselves. To some extent, playing with sand will not only turn children into clay dolls, but also bring benefits to children.
