Play research highlighted during Play Week

We’re pleased to see the importance of play being highlighted during Play Week Aotearoa 2024, and it’s great to see Sport New Zealand Ihi Aotearoa recognising this through their Play Lab initiative.

Our research by Felicia Low and Chloe Wilkinson explains how play isn’t just fun – it sets children up for a healthy, active life and builds the physical, social, and emotional foundations tamariki need to thrive.
