Show you love outdoor play

A campaign highlighting the importance of outdoor play in the community has been launched by a group of more than 30 authors, charities and explorers.

Nursery World has signed up to the Love Outdoor Play campaign, which is calling for people to display a Love Outdoor Play sticker at home or at work.

The campaign has developed a symbol anyone can use as long as they are not making a profit and they credit Love Outdoor Play. The group hopes that this will help to build a visible community to support safe, appropriate exploration, adventure and play for children.

Daniel Raven-Ellison, one of the organisers, said, 'We are asking people to take a very simple action. Make or get a Love Outdoor Play sticker and put it up where you live or work. Research shows that in many communities we're afraid of what other parents will think of us if we let our kids out to play or walk to school. By putting a sticker up you not only show that you support outdoor play, but can start a conversation about how play can be improved for children.'
