Dear Playtimer
Welcome to everyone who has joined the Playtime network over the past year. We hope you have found our articles, new resources and ideas helpful within your toddler groups.
We are so excited to announce that on 24 September 2022 we will be back together, in person, for our annual Playtime National Conference. Whether you are looking to start a toddler group or have been running one for years, this event is for you and your team. You will enjoy a full day of keynote speakers, engaging workshops, worship, exhibitors and much more. We can’t wait to see you there.
Our Smalltalk article is a great giveaway for parents and carers in your groups. Samantha helps us to not overcomplicate prayer, but to ‘chat to Jesus’ in the everyday.
God bless
Helen

Creating opportunities for dads to connect
Vicky has a real heart for dads in her community, so alongside their regular parent and toddler group, she set up 'Just 4 Dads'. It’s been a lifeline for the dads who attend, providing companionship, support and a safe space to share. Could this be something your church or toddler group could start? Check out our Who Let the Dads Out? project to find out how we can support you.
