“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn” - Benjamin Franklin

Children of any age often struggle to retain information that is taught or learned through passive methods, such as reading or classroom learning. Learning a concept or a topic might not be enough for children to ensure they understand it well and remember it in the long term.

This is where hands-on activities come into play. When children are actively involved in the learning process—through experiments, projects, interactive games, or other hands-on activities—they're not just passively receiving information or explanations. Instead, they're actively engaging with the material, using their senses, and practically applying what they've learned. This active involvement often leads to deeper understanding, better retention of knowledge, and the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
