Play at Home


Take a look at quick and easy ideas here to keep little ones entertained at home


​It's great if you can get out and about but if you can't, there's plenty of ways to have fun playing and learning at home too.

Scroll down for videos, links and resources to Play At Home and sign up for our mailing list to be the first to hear about play news and offers.

Play at Home


We celebrate creative ways to make toys out of anything - whether it be out of your recycling box or household items! It's not only great for the world to do this but also great for development and learning for children to explore items in this way. 

Download our FREE Play At Home resource list here to start learning more about your child's play style and ways to keep them engaged for longer.
