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.
Colossians 3:23 "23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,"
1 Corinthians 10:31 "31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
1 Corinthians 10:3 "31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
Proverbs 13:4 "4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing,
while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied."
Ephesians 4:28 "28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need."

The Peacefulness of Obeying Christ
When we declare our allegiance to Jesus Christ by obeying His commands ourselves and refusing to support those who disobey them, we will be rejected by most of the culture in which we live.
Acts 5:29: "But Peter and the apostles answered, 'We must obey God rather than men.'"
Romans 12:2: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind."
1 Peter 1:14: "As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance."
Galatians 1:10: "For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ."
There is much greater peace in obeying God than ever could be in following the traditions of men that defy God.
Trust in Christ every day for everything and you will be content, peaceful and full of joy!
