Research shows that unstructured play is one of the best ways to help children learn and grow

Great idea! Let's get out and about #WonderfulWolves ☀️

A fab day with exploration of nature and the sun shone too! ☀️🌱💚

Ready to play at Boundary Way on Tuesday! We investigated Windy Days 🌬 through exploratory play activities. Join us at our April sessions: wolvesplaycafe.org/wolvesinthewoo… #Warstones #MerryHill #NaturePlay #STEM #PlayAndLearn #FunAndFriendly #EarlyYears #MudKitchen #WonderfulWolves

Now's a great time to download our Spring Flower Spotter! We've already seen lots of these in flower so far this year - how many have you spotted? We've also caught the delicious aroma of wild garlic in the air. It won't be long until their starburst of white flowers are on show!

We saw this on our nap walk this week, a reminder that play doesn't have to be fancy, all you need is some ideas (little ones have the best ones!) and a bit of time together. wolvesplaycafe.org/play.html #FunAndFriendly #EarlyYears #ExploratoryPlay #Play #Wolverhampton #StayAndPlay

Louise caught Helen fun playing in the shredded paper snow this week! 🐐 We explored Three Billy Goats Gruff through activities for little ones to choose their #Play alongside chat and laughs with our play friends. We're back next week in half term!wolvesplaycafe.org/earlyexplorers…

Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood. ~ Fred Rogers
