Play is an important part of growing up.
All of us know that playful children are happier, better adjusted, more co-operative and more popular. So the toys we provide should stimulate their natural love for playing. It is healthy to play.

- Why is Play Important?
- "The right to play is a child's first claim on the community. Play is nature's training for life. No community can infringe that right without doing deep and enduring harm to the minds and bodies of it's citizens" (David Lloyd George)
"By playing, children learn and develop as individuals, and as members of the community" (Best Play, NPFA 2002)
"Letting children go out and play is one of the best things that parents can do for their children's health" (Mackett 2004)
A mix of active, imaginative and creative play makes for a brilliantly balanced diet of play.

Very nice lens, we grew up using fantasy and "made up" games related to everything from farm life, spies, and anything else we could dream up. I feel parents worry a bit too much about finding entertainment for their kids (video games, TV, etc.) versus getting them to use their minds. Posted April 17, 2008 |

Garner Rix took a few minutes off from his farming to check out your lens. He loves it so much that he is sending you virtual Woodland Creatures to populate the woods around your farm. Posted April 17, 2008 |

My son is beyond the farm play stage now:( He still has a collection of tractors, and he has his own full size pulling tractor, and does tractor pulls with his dad. They grow up way to fast. Welcome to the Fun For Kids Group! Posted January 21, 2008 |
