The aim of National Play Day is to help increase public awareness of the importance of play. Promoting play is a key policy response to improving outcomes for children and supporting children’s physical and social development. Play is integral to children’s lives. National Play Day is an opportunity to link activities already undertaken by Local Authorities and many other locally based providers, youth and sporting organisations.

The image selected to be coloured in was that of Nina The Owl who is “EU guardian of children’s right to go to school and get an education.” Entries were received from a number of playgroups, pre-schools and afterschool homework clubs throughout County Sligo. Sligo County Library Service wishes to acknowledge the support given by Sligo County Childcare Committee with regard to the distribution of entry forms and to the Department of Children & Youth Affairs for funding the events.
