From time to time on the blog, you will see that I refer to other projects that I am working on. Well finally one of them is completed! This project was a collaboration with Melitsa from Raising Playful Tots. It was the first time that I have worked with someone overseas on a project and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so thank you Melitsa for inviting me to be a part of the Raising Playful Tots Index.
The Raising Playful Tots Index
This first Raising Playful Tots Index is a quarterly look at play based blogs from around the blogosphere. The purpose of the index is to:
- Connect readers and great play content together.
- Celebrate, in one place, those blogs that support raising playful tots.
- Gather together a network of play blogs.
Whether you are looking for new ideas, inspiration, things to do , babysitting tonight and need a helping hand, pop on over to the RPTI and enjoy the exciting play activities by parents and educators.
You will have a full play folder with a range of play activities from specialist to generalist. Waldorf play inspired to homeschooled, baby, toddler, preschool and School activities for you to dip into depending on what you are looking for.
I have listed below the top 25 from the list, but head on over to Raising Playful Tots to see the complete 100 index and grab your badge if you are on the list!
If your not on the list and think you should be (we know we may have missed out on some great blogs – we searched high and low, but some will have escaped us!) there is a form where you can leave your details so we can include you next time. You will also find FAQ and a form to submit any questions you may have about the index.
