Did you know that PLAY:                     

• Sharpens our minds
• Helps us grow
• Keeps us healthy
• Increases our creativity

Children who PLAY learn to:

• Problem solve
• Make decisions
• Express themselves
• Communicate with others
• Recognize boundaries

When we do not play, we are:

• Less creative and productive
• More sedentary, more easily fatigued, more susceptible to obesity
• More likely to encounter social problems and emotional stress

The way we play shows:

• Who we are
• What we value
• How we regard others
   

Children who play do better in school and become more successful adults.

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.
          George Bernard Shaw
