Children making art

Play prepares children for life.

We must do everything we can to educate people about the importance of play, especially for young children. Take a look at this great video from KinderKaizen about championing children and how play prepares them for life. Watch for the "Ask the Play Lady" column in the Winter issue of Play & Playground magazine, available in December.
