We received this today from the Children and Young People Strategy Team in the Department of Education. By clicking the link below, you will gain access to this resource book. The attached poster will also give some good play ideas.
With the cost of living crisis impacting families across Northern Ireland, PlayBoard has developed a new resource highlighting a range of low-cost play ideas.
Play is central to children’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. All children have a natural urge to play and that need will remain, even during times of economic hardship. Play activity does not need to be expensive or involve costly toys and gadgets - there are many ‘free and found’ play opportunities that already exist within our schools and other settings.
Play in times of hardship has practical play ideas and activities which can be enjoyed at little or no cost. https://bit.ly/playintimesofhardship
Please feel free to share this valuable resource with parents, carers and your school community.
Kind regards,
