| Description: |
Play is the child's way of learning about, adapting to and integrating with his or her environment. In addition to adequate sports and recreation facilities children need a wide variety of opportunities, choices and raw materials that they can use as they see fit for free constructive creative play. These essays, drawn from papers given at the International Playgrounds Association's Seventh World Congress, focus on the social significance of play. |
