Toys and games are very important in childhood and are passed down from parents to children, preserving traditions. When parents and children play together, they create happy memories and strengthen bonds of love and friendship. This makes us feel loved and safe. They help children learn and have fun at the same time, developing the brain, body, and social skills. Playing with friends and family strengthens love bonds and creates happy memories. Additionally, play stimulates creativity, teaches new things, and helps to relax. Playing every day is essential for growing up happy and healthy.

ACTIVITY PROPOSAL
SWING
When we play on the swing with friends, the fun multiplies! It’s a time to laugh, chat, and share giggles as we push ourselves into the air. Parents and grandparents love to push children on the swing, creating special moments and happy memories that strengthen family bonds. And playing on the swing with friends further strengthens friendship bonds because it’s an activity everyone can enjoy together. We can compete to see who goes the highest or who can reach the clouds. These playful moments on the swing will be fondly remembered for a long time.
