CreateCATT was very happy to present at the International Play Association (IPA) Conference in Scotland in June. What an amazing event- we highly recommend that you join this organization as it has offices all over the world and brings together global leaders in the field.

We are delighted to announce that our first book on Why Play Matters 101 Ideas for Developmental Play will be out later this year. Watch the “bookshelves” and order your copy. It is packed with ideas and brings together lots of theory and practice to support your Developmental Play Journey.
