Happy International Day of Play! 🌟 🎈

From infancy on, play is an important part of a child’s life. For babies and toddlers, simple, playful interactions with adults support brain development, the foundations of lifelong health, and the building blocks of resilience. Play is also a great way for children to practice and strengthen executive function skills, including focusing their attention, improving their memory, and developing basic self-control.

If you're looking for simple games for children of all ages, check out our play-based handouts here: https://bit.ly/4h4kPFF
