Play for children should include accomplishing or creating something. It teaches children to enjoy achievements and productivity. Those who learn to enjoy work never have to "play" at useless things that only give them temporary happiness.
Children are apprentice adults. Everything we do with them from birth should be to prepare them for learning how to be responsible adults.
Even small children can learn to work by picking up their toys or helping a parent rake the leaves, each at their own level according to their abilities. Teaching children to enjoy work starts when they are toddlers.

while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied."
