Author Joseph Chilton Pearce has said, “…all children want to do is learn, which they try to do through their greatest learning tool, play.”
Playgroups…as of yet I have not found any playgroups in our area that are Waldorf inspired, natural parenting inspired, or connected parenting inspired. I have been living in the Lower Columbia area now going on two years, and have not come across anything of the sort. I really have a need for a peer group, as does my daughter. I love the saying, “if you build it, they will come”, thus I am starting a weekly play group in my area. “Picnics at the Park”, will be our playgroup at one of the areas parks during the summer months.
I would love to have this evolve into play groups at my house as well. I feel children need to play outside as much as possible, but during the off months in our area, it would be wonderful to have some inside play. So once I get things going outside, I will propose to have play times at our house too.
