Play begins earlier than you might think - long before a baby takes their first steps. From womb kicks to toddler towers, imaginary worlds to tween adventures, play constantly evolves as children grow. In this episode, I explore how play shifts across the stages of childhood and what stays the same: curiosity, connection and creativity.
Play Happens is hosted by Jessica Degenhardt - Primary Educator, Masters in Special & Inclusive Education and passionate play advocate.
