Let ME play!

Last week a series of posters were doing the rounds, originated from Explorations Early Learning: http://www.explorationsearlylearning.com/shop5/posters.html

This one really caught the imagination of a number of people on facebook:

It's great isn't it! It speaks to that part of us that knows that young children need to play and explore, it shows a boy engaged with his world. It also spoke to the adult who still feels like this. 

Because yes, there are still adults who feel like this.

All kudos must be given to Marc Armitage http://www.marc-armitage.eu/ who started the idea of remaking the poster for yourself and the other play and Early Years professionals who joined in. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.280106425388257.66030.100001667062153&type=3

I love the idea that adults still see themselves as playful beings. How do you play?
