Play Scotland
Play Scotland promotes and supports play for all children and young people in Scotland. Find practical ideas, resources, information and events to help create more opportunities for play. Through play, children create and establish friendships. The extent to which they feel part of a group is linked to their opportunities to play with other children. Playing freely with others helps children learn how to see things from differing points of view through cooperating, sharing, helping and solving problems.
