Fun ways to play - hints and tips

There are many easy ways you can encourage your child to play.

• Turn off the television and ensure there is plenty of time for play throughout the day
• Take play outside, as well as indoors
• Leave toys out for them to use over time, if you can. That way the play scene can continue
  over several days
• Join in with your child at times, following their lead. Let them decide what you are going to
  do and how you are going to do it
• Playing with your child should be fun and is a great way to find out what is important to
  them
• Remember, there is no right or wrong way to play and there are not necessarily any results
  to show at the end. Your child should be able to play in their own way
