We witnessed this at yesterdays play session for under 5s, a first for all of us. Bubbles freezing in mid air!!! Its fair to say we were all mesmerised for some time...quite magical.

A few short blizzards didn’t stop the team delivering an amazing play session today. #winterplay #AberdeenCC #aberlourcct #moreplayplease #playrangers #looseparts

🌟When children are playing they are emotionally immersed in what they are doing, often expressing and working out the emotional aspects of their everyday lives. This helps them understand their own feelings and those of others.🌟
Wow! Thank you for such a terrific response to our Winter Play Programme ❄️☃️
During the month of January we had 93 families who contacted us to book or enquire about our play sessions. #winterplay #AberdeenCC #aberlourcct #playrangers
A huge thank you to all the families who have braved the weather this week to attend play sessions! Cold, wet and windy but still fantastic fun! #winterplay #aberlourcct #playrangers

🌟Playing allows children the opportunity to explore their feelings and express themselves in a relatively safe environment, even if these feelings are confusing or painful.🌟
Love this!
We are incredibly proud of the films on #OutdoorELC that we produced this time last year.
If we teach children from a young age to #respect nature and connect with it they are more likely to protect it in years to come!

🌟Playing outdoors enhances learning and is fundamental for children and young people to thrive in health, wellbeing and development.🌟
Teamwork makes the dream work, especially when building an epic ball run! Making new friends and having fun at our Inchbrae Park session. #looseparts #winterplay

Squeezy bottles with food colouring and water were a big hit at our under fives session on Monday. #winterplay
So we found out that the cold weather plus our waterproofs made us go super fast down the slide! Soon we were experimenting. Next Winter Olympics look out for these kids from our Inchbrae Park Play session. #weloveriskyplay #winterplay
Play is so important! Perhaps even more than ever right now 🥰 #moreplayplease #aberlourcct #playrangers

🌟Children need play to survive and thrive. Play is a life-enhancing experience which fosters resilience, the ability to handle stress, challenges and setbacks.🌟
