Hundreds of fun play ideas - that won't cost you a bean!
The brand new ELC Play Ideas website
There are literally hundreds of fun ideas for play that cost nothing (except perhaps a cardboard box or a pen). The ideas are categorised to be suitable for your child's age, and also so that you can select one of these three types of play:
A mix of active, imaginative and creative play makes for a brilliantly balanced diet of play
Some children prefer to spend most of their time with creative play, some with imaginative play and others with active play. There is nothing wrong in liking one toy or game in particular, but a balanced diet of play is best for development. In other words, it's good for your child to play in lots of different ways.
Each type of play contributes in its own way to all-round psychological progress. Your child gets something different out of playing with different toys. Encourage your child to achieve a balanced diet of play by offering a regular change of play activities. You can suggest new types of games and new toys.
You can even send in your own play ideas and if they get added to the site you'll receive a £20 ELC gift card.
