What is the term for play in which children manipulate?
This type of play can also be described as manipulative play. A child uses their hands to manipulate toys and objects to learn about how to use them. This includes construction play, arts and crafts and tool-use (e.g. scissors) and helps to develop eye-hand co-ordination.
What is the term for playing with children genuinely interact with one another taking turns playing games or devising contest?
Cooperative play.
During associative play, a child begins to focus on the other person playing, and not just on their own play. Two children at this stage may talk and start to interact with one another.
What does constructive play mean?
Put simply, constructive play is when children use materials to create or build something. It's organised and focused towards a goal. The idea was formalised by the child development expert Jean Piaget, who worked extensively on understanding how children learn.
Which term describes play in which two or more children interact with one another by sharing or borrowing toys although they do not do the same activities?
This is called parallel play. Associative play occurs next and is when two or more children interact with one another by sharing or borrowing toys or materials. They do not do the same thing though.
