Paper Plane
The paper airplane is a symbol of childhood and creativity. It represents the power of imagination and the potential for travel and communication. For many people, the paper airplane is a reminder of the possibilities that exist in the world.
Children are some of the best creators, ideators, and designers. They learn how to make paper planes early on and use them for fun or practical jokes. As an adult, if you were to make a paper plane, you might find it silly. But when you were a kid, didn't the same awe and amazement come over you? That you could take a piece of paper, make a few folds, and now have a toy that could fly through the air? You could play games, races, and fights with other kids!

At Rocksfordz, our brand mnemonic is the paper plane. Paper planes are great examples of how iteration can create complex results. By making small changes and trying again, you can eventually end up with a design that flies further and faster, or even one that can carry a light load. Paper planes also remind us that even something seemingly worthless can be turned into something amazing.
You would think that in today's digital world, paper planes would be a thing of the past. But you would be wrong! They are now almost an industrystandard logo for 'send' or any communication or messagingrelated concept. You can see them in Instagram, some Google apps, most networking and messaging apps like WayUp, Telegram, and others. So why are paper planes still around? Well, they're just so darn cute!
Play is essential for children as it allows them to explore different aspects of life and to try out new skills in a fun and safe environment. Different types of play help children to develop different skills in different ways. Through unstructured play, children can learn how to be creative and use their imagination. Structured play can help children to learn how to follow rules, share with others and cooperate.

We all know that children are sponges and absorb everything around them. But did you know that preschoolage children are constantly working on mastering both gross and fine motor skills? At Oxford's Rocksfordz kids spend time actively engaged in developing these skills through activities such as drawing, cutting, coloring, and gluing (fine motor skills) and playing on playground equipment, running, skipping, jumping, and kicking or throwing a ball to a partner (gross motor skills).
