Play is vital to a happy childhood and a basic human right. Children need to run around, use their imagination, have adventures, make new friends and have fun. Traditional or ‘retro’ play is the way children explore the world allowing them to develop practical skills and allow them to learn through curiosity, invention and persistence.
