Children learn through play so how as parents/carers can we provide opportunities for our children’s play to help them understand the importance of nurturing our planet and all its inhabitants?
How can we help them to appreciate resources are precious and are needed not just today but for generations to come?
This year’s National Week of Play focused on eco-sustainability and our early years educators have shared with you ideas and experiences on how we can involve children in playing to protect our planet.
