The Power of Play Potion

Play is fun... yet it offers so much more than joy alone!

When children engage in play, their brains release a variety of natural chemicals that

  • boost mood
  • strengthen relationships (when playing with another)
  • reduce stress
  • create a feeling of relaxation
  • support learning and motivation
  • regulate emotions

Play is incredibly powerful - its a bit like a magic potion!

It's one of the reasons we use play in our work with young people, and it's why we're such big advocates for play.

If a child is having a hard time, offer them a moment to play. And if you can, join in and play with them for a moment.

If you like our Play Potion Poster you can download it here.


Help us to support children with the Power of Play. We would be delighted if you visited our Christmas Wish List on Amazon and purchased an item. These items are either for therapy kits used in sessions or to support our small head office.
