Any decorated rock formations or other naturally occurring affordances that are kid magnets in your community? Send a pic…

The Millport Croc on Great Cumbrae off Scotland's west coast. First painted over 100 years ago and a great natural climbing rock. This pic from a family trip in the late 60s.

Have you come across any playful, painted, kid magnet natural features in your travels? #playrocks

Children, and society, need a diversity of play spaces! #outdoorplay #riskyplay #adventureplay

“These just can’t be compared to ‘fixed’ playgrounds in parks; they are community spaces where thoughtful staff help children engage with nature and play with other children of different ages – an experience we are losing in wider society.” #outdoorplay

[IPA_Canada @ipa_canada]

How did children play in the last ice age? A fascinating documentary from @cbcideas. #letthemplay #outdoorplay #childfriendlycities https://t.co/EME90l8YLY
