Childs Play Magazine
A free resource that provides
inspiration and information about the importance of play to children's
development, learning, and emotional health.
We also explore how adults can learn from their children to
become more spontaneously playful. So please join some of the world's
experts on the benefits of play, as well as parents and
educators, as we create the best play environments possible for
our children (and ourselves!). And check back regularly, because
we're adding new articles all the time. |
