We're thrilled to see a motion celebrating Baltasound Junior High School’s achievement of the Play Pedagogy Award and the International Day of Play lodged at @parliament.scot.
This #InternationalDayofPlay we're highlighting new research showing that children who spend more time playing outdoors between the ages of two and four may be less likely to develop emotional and behavioural difficulties later in childhood.

Cardboard Box Day is a national initiative designed to celebrate the power of simple, child-led play in the early years. It's free to take part and only requires a cardboard box - a fantastic example of loose parts play.
