"The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences."
Simplified meaning
Kids learn best when they're in a place that makes them curious and excited to try new things. Imagine a classroom filled with colorful books, puzzles, and art supplies. Instead of just listening to a teacher talk, children can pick what interests them, like building with blocks or painting a picture. This helps them explore and learn on their own, making the lessons stick better in their minds. For example, if a child loves animals, having a corner with animal toys and books can make them want to read and learn more about them. Parents and teachers can use this idea by creating spaces where kids feel inspired and eager to learn, like setting up a small garden to teach them about plants. This approach helps kids become more independent and motivated learners.
