@delijn Dank voor snelle reactie. Fingers crossed

@delijn wat is er aan de hand met de 315 Kraainem - Leuven? Passagiers werden zonder veel uitleg uit de bus gezet! Wanneer komt de volgende en kan ik er zeker van zijn dat die voor 17.00 aan de hertswegenstraat in Tervuren stopt? Dan stopt de opvang van m’n zoontje.

@LetToysBeToys @iChildUK my son has beautiful, long eyelashes. When he was a baby, some people would comment they were 'wasted on him' seeing as he was a boy.... We have a long way to go...

Persistence is one thing MEP @MarionWalsmann has learned from childhood play.

A powerful skill when working on vital issues at the European Parliament.

There seem to be high hopes for the ‘EU representative’ introduced through GPSR. But what if they don’t exist or are fake? The large majority of products on Safety Gate come from companies who don’t care about the rules…

[catherine van reeth @CatherineVReeth]

Two very interesting panels at #ipsw2022 discussing how to ensure products bought online are safe

[Toy Industries of Europe @TIEtoyEU]

Storytelling, connecting, imagining... lovely to hear how @michegibbons experiences of playing remain so important in her life.

How has play shaped you?

#PlayShapes #importanceofplay #WorldChildrensDay

[Toy Industries of Europe @TIEtoyEU]

Openness, creativity and imagination – all inspired by playing as a child and still today.

Play has served UNICEF's @gcappelaere well in his work to drive change for children and young people every day, across the globe.

Play is the foundation for all learning and development. When we push out the physicality of learning, we ignore the basic fact that the brain needs the body in order to learn. #playtolearn #foundationforlearning @thetoyassoc
