This year, we partnered with the The LEGO Foundation to enable as many children as possible to engage in creative play on the first ever #InternationalDayofPlay. From an eco-playground in Ukraine to creative workshops in South Africa, the International Day of Play Community Fund supported nearly 300 projects across 6 countries, benefitting more than 40,000 children so far. Watch our video to see some of their stories come to life! Play supports children to build confidence and develop critical life skills. We believe that play is something that every child should enjoy every day. We’re proud to partner with the LEGO Foundation and work with amazing social innovators and community changemakers to make this a reality. KABOOM!
