Probably not as we’re happy playing outside as we are
Yes, additional ideas for playing and exploring outside would be useful
Possibly, though I’m not sure if my child would be interested
No, I don’t think we’d use a Play Tin
7. Some of the activities in our Play Tins have been developed to encourage children to explore with the help of an adult. What do you think about this?
I’m keen to learn and play outdoors with my child/children and would enjoy this
I’d love to spend time playing outdoors with my children but its not always feasible so would prefer activities that are child-led and don’t need my assistance
I always prefer more independent activities for my child/children so would be put off by anything that requires my help
8. We are proud to source the contents of our Play Tins from local suppliers, choose natural materials wherever possible and be single-use plastic free. How much does this matter to you?
This is massively important in the decisions I make, I appreciate it
It’s good to know, but not the most important selection criteria for my purchases
It’s not something that I think about so isn’t important to me
