5 REASONS TO CELEBRATE PLAY!

  • Getting kids to play is absolutely critical to their healthy development! See the facts.

  • Overly-structured schedules, increased focus on academics, and the growing amount of screen time have led to the decline in play.

  • Through play, kids acquire 6 critical skills they need for success in school and in life.

  • Play brings families and generations together and reduces stress for everyone.

  • Play is FUN! And where there is play, there is also LEARNING!
With so many reasons to celebrate play, it is no wonder the American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends pediatricians to write kids a “prescription for play.”
