The movement to save play and return childhood to its magical, less harried roots continues to gain momentum. We’ve been so excited by the creativity that play advocates are using to spread the word!
Here are just a few of our favorites from around the web:
- Right Where You Are Now video, which for some strange reason, refuses to embed today. (Ugghh!)
From Marghanita at the Let’s Go Outside Revolution .
From Kari at Active Kids Club.
From Explorations Early Learning LLC.
From Jenny Kable at Let the Children Play.
From The Grass Stain Guru.
From Head Start Body Start.
Fun. Thought provoking. Colorful. Powerful. Everything a movement needs to gain speed and get people on board.

Playfully yours, Bethe
