- 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.

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.
