The podcast series will comprise six weekly episodes, with the first, featuring Dr Aric Sigman on the benefits of physical play, out now. 

The BTHA’s Make Time 2 Play campaign, which provides parents and carers with hundreds of free play ideas, tips and information on the benefits of play, has now released its first podcast series.

The series will consist of six weekly episodes with the first episode out now for readers to listen to. In the first episode, presenter Georgia Jones chats to Dr Aric Sigman about the benefits of physical play and the impact physical play has on mental wellbeing, and hears tips for parents and carers on how to get their children more active.

The BTHA has said it would be grateful if the toy industry could get behind the campaign and help share the podcast on companies’ own social media pages. Anyone interested in supporting the podcast and campaign is advised to email Rebecca@btha.co.uk for more information.
