Ready, Steady, Play with Savlon
Playday is the national day for play, celebrated this year on Wednesday 3 August, 2011 and is supported by Savlon.
Did you know that nearly three quarters of children (73%) say they would like to play outdoors more where they live, while a similar amount of parents (72%) want more time to play with their children or to take them places to play.
From analysing risk and developing the ability to make decisions for themselves, to building self-confidence and imagination, making time for children to play outdoors is important, and also fun!
As part of a long running campaign to get communities more engaged with outdoor activities, over 800 Playday events will be taking place nationwide this August as the country takes time to celebrate the importance of play for children. Events range from jubilee style street parties, festivals in parks or village greens, mass adventures in woodlands and parklands, to public events at community venues and back garden play dates.
Savlon encourages families to get their children outdoors and experience the adventure of play this summer, with Playday providing the perfect occasion to embrace the opportunity. Check out www.savlon.co.uk
