Play, while it cannot change the external realities of children’s lives, can be a vehicle for children to explore and enjoy their differences and similarities and to create, even for a brief time, a more just world where everyone is an equal and valued participant.

This is very good Marion thanks
i shall put this on my computer next week as we are holding a garden party.The children have written invites to family members to come and help us begin our garden as it is new and barren. We are starting with a sensory area. I sent a letter out with the children's invites saying it wasn't a 'bring a bottle party but a bring a plant party. Muscles, and garden tools needed too. The parent have been fantastic. I have put up a wish list and 1 mum has promised 10 stepping stones. Another has managed to wangle some plants from a new local nursery. Another has come with a promise of some bark chippings and herbs. Another is coming in to bake biscuits the day before. Then when I look at the website you have linked, someone has done something similar, we are not running to a BBQ though.
We are hoping that a dad will be able to make us a sand pit-custom made with a design I've come up with. Hope it might inspire others. I wish I had seen the website first, but it was desperation that did it for me, and even if I say it myself I felt really pleased with the idea now. If we had put it out to tender it would have cost so much and this way really involves the children.
