How are you playing on this International Day of Play? The wet weather calls for dress ups, puzzles, board games, music, book play, things that go, imaginary play sets and real play. Even a bounce on the mini tramp when you need to get your energy out. We can help with facilitating quality play at home. Come visit us Saturdays 9-10.30am at Jones Paskin Reserve and have a look at our collection of over 700 toys aimed at children 0-8 years.
Happy International Day of Play 🌈🚀
This year's theme, Protect Play, Protect Childhood, is a reminder that play is an essential part of growing up and something every child has the right to experience.
Through play, children learn how to connect, create, explore and belong. It's how they discover their interests, build relationships, solve problems and make sense of the world around them.
The science is clear too. In just 30 minutes of play, one third of the neurons in a child's brain can change and form new connections. Play quite literally helps children grow.
We believe every child deserves opportunities to play and every family deserves access to spaces and resources that help make play possible.
Today, we're celebrating the value of play and the important role it has in every childhood.
