In this episode of Play Happens, I share five tiny play experiments that parents and educators can try this week - no special materials, no planning, no pressure.

These simple shifts invite deeper curiosity, creativity and independence, while reminding us that play isn’t just fun - it’s fundamental.

Perfect for tired adults who want meaningful play without the overwhelm.

✨ Play Happens is hosted by Jessica Degenhardt - Primary Educator, Masters in Special & Inclusive Education and passionate play advocate.
