In modern childhood, free, unstructured play time is being replaced more and more by academics, lessons, competitive sports, and passive, electronic entertainment. While parents may worry that their children will be at a disadvantage if they are not engaged in constant, explicit learning or using the latest "educational" games, David Elkind's The Power of Play reassures us that unscheduled imaginative play goes far in preparing children for academic and social success. Through expert analysis of the research and powerful situational examples, Elkind shows that, indeed, creative spontaneous activity best sets the stage for academic learning in the first place: Children learn mutual respect and cooperation through role-playing and the negotiation of rules, which in turn prepare them for successful classroom learning; in simply playing with rocks, for example, a child could discover properties of counting and shapes that are the underpinnings of math; even a toddler's babbling is a necessary precursor to the acquisition of language. An important contribution to the literature about how children learn, The Power of Play suggests ways to restore play's respected place in children's lives, at home, at school, and in the larger community. In defense of unstructured "down time," it encourages parents to trust their instincts and resist the promise of the wide and dubious array of educational products on the market geared to youngsters.Binding Type: Paperback

Injured finger from use
Color: Black/Battery
Just used the product for the first time today. Beware, it does work but it cut my daughter’s finger open really bad because it made the edge of the can stringy and she cut her finger on it. Be careful.

Super practical and easy to use 👍
I bought this electric can opener from Kitchenmuh and I absolutely love it. It's super practical; with just the push of a button, it does all the work effortlessly. I really like that it's hands-free, which makes it ideal for everyday use, especially when you're busy in the kitchen. It opens cans smoothly and safely, without leaving sharp edges, which is a huge plus. Plus, it's compact and doesn't take up much space. So far, it's worked perfectly and feels like good quality. I definitely recommend it; it's an excellent helper in the kitchen! 👌✨

Great Safe Can Opener
Color: Black+Grey
The 1️⃣ touch can opener is great⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. It is easy to use & eliminates possible cuts to my hand on those cans that have a pop up lid. I am almost 70 so sometimes using a manual can opener is difficult.
Thank you for selling a quality product at a really fair price ⭐️🌈⭐️🌈⭐️Donna Pearson in New Orleans
