BIG commissioned ECOTEC Research and Consulting Ltd to undertake research into the Playful Ideas programme. This research was conducted with a sample of 11 Playful Ideas projects. The methodology included case study visits and interviews with project leaders and children. This publication highlights the range of innovative approaches to play that have been created and delivered through Playful Ideas and shares the learning from projects.
