    Play, plastics, and things that are in the world

    Max and Sarah chat about plastics in play environments, sustainability, aesthetics, values and how we make sense of the world with deviations into gun and superhero play and a dip into gender.
    We talk about a microblog by the commonworlds collective: "How does intensifying plastics’ presence in the classroom invite children to practice curiosity and disrupt indifference?" which you can access here: http://commonworlds.net/how-does-intensifying-plastics-presence-in-the-classroom-invite-children-to-practice-curiosity-and-disrupt-indifference/

    The first chat – No Ball Games

    You’ve made it to our third podcast – so time to share our first conversation - we chat about our reaction to the film No ball games: life and play through the eyes of children across the UK – shot with children across in the UK in Wales in 2019 (pre-Covid). Rides in shopping trolleys, farting, working out what working class means, I spy, and British Bulldogs.
