Children will have had such different experiences during lockdown. Large numbers are said to have not been outside during this time. Unstructured active play is vital now more than ever to support both healthy physical and emotional development #letthemplay #playoutside

Let’s remember that outdoor play is for girls and women too. It’s important for their development. Never again do I want to hear: “the boys in the class really need to be outside”. All children need quality outdoor play regardless of their sex. #ChooseToChallenge #IWD2021
