Play-activities.com is a brand new website offering a wide range of free, fun activities to delight and stimulate both parents and children, and get them playing together. There is no need to go out and buy expensive equipment and materials, as each activity uses everyday objects found in the average home. Aimed at the under 5s, the activities have been hand-picked to benefit the child as a whole, focusing on the development of sensory, language, social, emotional and physical skills, as well as tapping into a childs creative side through art and craft. The activities cover a broad range of fine and gross motor skills, as children need to move about, and a balance of play skills is essential for both boys and girls.

Parents can sign up for the free Play-activities daily email, which contains a new fun activity for moms, dads and kids to try at home every day. Each activity is quick and easy to set up and many are left open ended for the parent to adapt to their own childs needs. Developed by experienced junior grade school teacher, Melitsa Avila, the activities are all educational and age appropriate, with the developmental stages clearly highlighted. The convenient email format is perfect for busy parents who want to find something new and fun to play with their children, but have no time to wade through magazines and websites looking for inspiration.

Once they have tried an activity, parents can then use the interactive features of the website to provide feedback or to submit a favorite game or activity of their own.

Play-activities.com is the brainchild of Melitsa Avila, trained teacher and mom to two smiley, active boys. She says:

My Mom was very creative, and I wanted to offer the same range of fun activities to my own children. I started searching for activities that were fun, but that did not break the bank. During my research, I discovered that many parents I spoke to really wanted to play games and do fun things with their children, but did not know where to begin - they lacked ideas and confidence.

She adds:

I decided to put together a whole host of free, fun activities, both from my own childhood, and from educational resources, with the aim of getting parents and kids playing, laughing and learning together. I have always tried to inject fun into learning, and in my experience as a teacher, I found that kids learn more when they are having fun. The daily email offers parents a new and exciting activity to try at home each day and both children and parents will really benefit by spending quality time together having fun.
