The cold weather forecast for this Easter and beyond makes it a challenge to keep children happy, active and occupied over the holidays. Make Time To Play offers some inspirational play ideas through its free app available for Android and iOS.
With activities for children of all ages, and enough ideas to keep them actively occupied every day of the year, the Make Time To Play app has play suggestions for both indoors and outdoors. Even in the current cold conditions, children can be engaged in outdoor play, so long as they are wrapped up warm. The Make Time To Play app concentrates on active play ideas that encourage children to let off steam and burn off their natural energy.
“All our research has shown that play is vital for children’s healthy development, helping to learn about the world around them, and develop the physical and mental skills that can last a lifetime,” says Natasha Crookes, director of communications for the British Toy and Hobby Association, the people behind the campaign. “The Make Time To Play app gives parents a valuable source of ideas for play even if you only have five minutes to spare.”
