One of the best benefits of play is that it can help cultivate in kids (and adults too) the ability to notice and delight in small, everyday kinds of things. This can have a profound impact on well-being especially as we move into our adult lives where many of our days can feel mundane at times…

Play brings about laughter and connection. Play integrates bodies and minds. Play connects people with one another, whether spouses, families, friends, or teams. Play is good for our nervous systems, encouraging us to not be on such high alert all the time. Play evokes wonder and our imaginations, a sense of creativity, and perhaps a belief that all things are possible.
