We took clay to our #PlayNurture school session yesterday and one player who’d had a difficult morning immersed himself in model making, designing a huge house for all his creatures and was proud to show his teacher at the end ☺️

We had our first #PlayNurture session with a new school group last Wednesday and saw some awesome creativity with bubbles, chalk obstacle courses and the repurposing of some old PE equipment 🏀 🫧

After 10 weeks of ups and downs our Thursday #Play2Nurture group have started to play collaboratively without needing the #PlayRangers as much.
Of course they still come in handy when there are arms to be painted 🎨

We reckon if we asked AI to produce an image of a happy child flying a kite it would be hard stretched to do better than this image.
Yet this isn’t AI… this is real life… this is child-led play… this is happiness 😁🪁

Varied play with Lego during school #PlayNurture today.
From burying minifigs in fairy dough to intense games of bingo with our DIY set made from cards.
Plenty of sharing, caring & laughter!

A lot of our most recent #PlayNurture work has been with young people referred to us by their schools because of their anger.
Providing a safe space allowing them time to work things out & communicate through their play.

"Where there is anger, there is pain based behaviour."
We need to meet our young people where they are and create the relationships and safe spaces to feel safe enough to open up conversations that are healthy and supportive .This will help the young person move forward.🧠🌱

Park adventures, creative experiments and communal card games were the main #childled activities chosen by our #Play2Nurture group tonight
One girl told us “going to the park is my favourite thing ever!”
