Play Pieces: May 2016

We've been busy this month at the Shop of Possibilities! Here's what we've been up to...


We said goodbye to Lauren :( ...

...built a goal...

...then scored some goals!

We claimed a piece of land...

...piled everything up...

...cocooned ourselves in blankets...

...rode a train...

...played with water...

...and drove around in our car!

Play Pieces: February 2016

February might be a short month, but there was still time to play...

We built stuff

Drank tea

Built a cool outdoor tent...

...and a squishy indoor tent

Put ourselves in a netted bag and let our mates carry us around

Built a plastic den to shelter from the rain

And tied up the playworkers!

Play Pieces: December 2015 (Oasis Adventure Playgound Special)

Happy New Year!
 
We love the holiday season at Play Local, because although it may be getting colder and darker, everyone is excited about all the festivities which makes for some super enthusiastic play!
 
Here's some of that play from the past month to kick start your 2016:
 

We brushed up on our DIY skills

Put up the Christmas tree

Found our rhythm

Decorated the place
Then we went to visit our friends at Oasis Adventure Playground in Stockwell, and it was AMAZING!
 
We found a hidden sandpit
 
Did some balancing in the forest
 
Cut some firewood

Played in the outdoor kitchen

Gave wheelbarrow rides

Went down the big slide together

And rode go karts!

We drilled holes in stuff...

...and drilled holes in other stuff
 

We made snowflakes

Used a lot of glitter

Fashioned a rather stylish hat out of a Christmas Wreath

Made more mess with glitter

Wrapped pressies...
 
...and covered more stuff with glitter!

Here's the children at the Shop of Possibilities getting into the festive spirit (mostly).


Thanks for taking the time to read our blog, we're taking a bit of a break over the holidays but check back in January for more posts about play.
