Affordable Play…what a load of rubbish!!

Play: How much does it cost when it’s ‘shop bought’?

“The average British shopper spent £508 on toys and games for each child in 2013”

The UK toy market is worth £2.4 billion

The UK is the second highest spender on toys in the world

- Daily Telegraph, May 23rd 2015

Shop bought toys & games……. how long will they last??

Take a look at this picture… what do you notice?

What messages does this picture send us about children’s play?

…compared to this one?

Why is play important? Play is a fundamental aspect of learning

and development. The Early Years in particular are a

crucial time for developing creative thinking.

It is important for parents and educators to give children the opportunity to benefit from a variety of high quality play experiences.

What does ‘high quality’ mean?High quality play experiences are: Open ended Involve ‘active learning’ Challenging Child initiated Contain opportunities to ‘problem solve’ Engaging Inclusive Enjoyable!

Does ‘high quality’ have to mean high cost? The short answer to this question is NO!

By using recycled materials and re-purposing unwanted items children can create toys and games themselves that help them explore their own ideas and encourage them to use creative thought processes and solve problems.

These items can also, more often than not, be recycled when children have finished playing with them. This could ultimately lead to reduced waste from toys ending up in land fill. In other words reducing the ‘cost’ to the environment.

Let’s look at some examples….

Plastic Bottles

Now looking at these items you won’t see a ‘load of rubbish’… you’ll see endless possibilities for high quality, play that really is‘affordable’
