Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional play involves using objects or toys for their intended purpose, such as shaking a rattle or clapping hands. This type of play helps infants develop physical coordination and cognitive skills. Parallel play refers to children playing near but not with each other, constructive play involves building or creating something, and symbolic play involves using objects to represent something else (e.g. pretending a stick is a sword).
