Children learn best through play, and at a bilingual daycare in New York, New York, we see firsthand how mimicking and interactive activities boost language development. Mimicking, or imitating sounds and actions, is a natural part of how young children learn to communicate.

The simple act of scooping and molding the sand becomes a delightful adventure for him. In his small hands, the sand becomes a canvas for imagination, as he molds castles and shapes with unbridled creativity. Amogh’s laughter…

doylist explanation for why Gidel is only in Fellow's non-idle lesson animations: probably something about space constraints and making sure two sprites in one seat aren't covering anyone else when they're not in focus

watsonian explanation for why Gidel is only in Fellow's non-idle lesson animations: he snuck in and is hiding from the teachers, don't give him away 🤫

(I've reached my limit of unsuccessful attempts at pulling them before I need to save keys for Halloween, so I've been living vicariously through youtube videos...but the fact that Gidel just pops up from under the desk to wave his arms around happily is really testing my resolve. D: I'm gonna die when they finally get to do alchemy...)

Playful Learning: Activities for Your Child’s First School Years

Play is an essential part of a child's development, and it can also be a great way to learn. There are many different ways to incorporate playful learning into your child's day, from simple activities like reading aloud and playing with blocks to more elaborate projects like building a fort or creating a nature journal. When children play, they are using their imaginations, problem-solving skills, and creativity. They are also learning about the world around them and how to interact with others. By providing your child with opportunities for playful learning, you are helping them to grow and develop in all areas.

GOKU: I have a great idea to bring peace to the universe, and my leadership and compassion alone will unite us all. I have No Flaws and am A True Relatable Everyman :)

VEGETA: NO! I AM THE BEST AND I WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS UNTIL I AM RECOGNIZED AS SUCH!!!!

GOKU: Vegeta what's cornmeal made of? I know it's what the corn eats, but what's it made of? VEGETA: Hey Kakarot let's play the quiet game until one of us dies.

I can not help but imagine Post-Fall Beel purposely went all "Oh, what is that?" To the Archangel bros for them to look at the other way while he steals a cheek-kiss from Lucifer before slipping the mask back on the second they turn back around and goes "Oh, that must've been my imagination." with the most uninterested dead pan look on his face. The only who knows his affections will be Lucifer and the V Models. lol
