Playboard

Play is both fun and educational and is essential for children’s well-being, helping them build resilience and cope with stress. Play allows children the opportunity to learn new skills and make sense of the world around them. As we face worrying and uncertain times it’s important that children have the space and time to play every day. Take a look at some play ideas for children to try out.

Supporting and reassuring children during Covid-19

A short book to support and reassure our children, under the age of 7, regarding the COVID-19. This book is an invitation for families to discuss the full range of emotions arising from the current situation. It is important to point out that this resource does not seek to be a source of scientific information, but rather a tool based on fantasy. My recommendation is to print this material so children can draw on it. Remember that emotions are processed through repetitive play and stories read multiple times. Share COVIBOOK and help ease kiddo's anxiety all over the world.
