So much sensory play from playing in and with the rain to making dough slime

We warmed up with soup and sandwiches for lunch then celebrated a Play Ranger birthday with cake which got wonderfully messy and creative

We had an amazing time doing chalk art this morning and one of our players decided to do our logo

We think it’s amazing!

We also enjoyed games of man hunt, cricket and football 🏃🏿‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃🏾

Wednesday was the last of our 3 school summer holiday community play days & it may have been wet but we had so much fun…with ducks

We played other things too, but the ducks in water & a slide was just everyone’s favourite

[Play Gloucestershire @Play_Glos]

Our play day in Ruspidge last week was quite a crafty day. The kids chose to use the left over boxes from lunch to make their own bins!

Play dog Dapple adores being adored and loves a small space. He enjoyed this little den that was made especially for him #P2N2

[Play Gloucestershire @Play_Glos]

The #P2N2 crew have done a few of their favourite things as they returned to #ThePlaySanctuary for a final hurrah. Den building and chilled morning; lots of play fights and a park visit in the afternoon and of course toasted marshmallows 🔥

[Play Gloucestershire @Play_Glos]

Final end of summer fling at Armscroft Park with the #P2N2 team. Unable to use Ayland Gardens because of rough sleepers camping out, this park has provided some amazing adventures for all ages #ParksMatter

[Play Gloucestershire @Play_Glos]

Reflecting on the magic of climbing trees and mastering the slack line in recent weeks

Instead of saying ‘be careful’, we give children the knowledge to climb safely so they can build their expertise 🌳

I saw a small child walking alongside their adult to our art table
As they walked past our trug full of water ducks the child asked, “Can we do that?”
The adult responded, “I’m not sure how you use it” & kept walking
The child said, “You just play” before bending down to play
