Our society, schools, and mainstream education often ignores the importance of playing and games. “Going to school” and “classes” have supplanted the primary mode of childhood learning – play. The Play Centre at Drama Rainbow Education puts play, especially social play, at the heart of our work. To this date, PlayLab has designed over 50 activities, including: patching, handcrafting, designing, weaving, and building. Mums and dads work together with their children to use their hands. As hands are the tools of the mind, understanding hands, seeing your own and the hands of others at play, is the core purpose of PlayLab. In addition, we also invite many artists from the fields of art, design and crafts including embroidery, traditional arts, traditional crafts, and other art forms, to show our member families how to use these different forms to have fun and to play with significance.
