You can keep the little ones playing outdoors all summer long with these ideas from Chris Byrne, the Toy Guy!

For kids, play serves three important, developmental functions:

• It provides new experiences.

• It allows kids to explore the worlds (in reality and the imagination).

• Provides the opportunity for self-expression. Healthy, engaged play is how we discover ourselves and find our place in the world.
