Think of learning like building with blocks. There are two special kinds of building skills. One is called 'conceptual,' and it's like using your thinking and imagination to understand big ideas and how things work. It helps you solve puzzles and come up with new ideas.

The other one is 'perceptual,' which is like using your superhero senses to notice and recognize things. You know when you see different colors, shapes, or hear sounds? That's what perceptual skills help with. It's like when you put the right puzzle pieces together.

Both of these skills are super important. It's like having two superpowers. With one, you can think and understand, and with the other, you can see and hear things really well. When you learn and play, you use both of these superpowers, and that helps one to become a smart and creative child!
