Me, at the ice-cream shop, trying to pick a flavour (or two). Choices, choices, choices. If there’s a green tea flavoured ice-cream, that usually gets picked. The other possibility is pistachio. Yum… But if those aren’t on the table, well…. choices, choices choices.

When I was a kid though – it would be Rainbow ice-cream, hands down, no questions asked, every single time. Just can’t go past the colours. They scream fun, and how could I go past fun? Strangely enough, Mr N (5yo) feels the same way about ice-cream now. He’ll have the most colourful thing on offer, thanks.

To brighten up your day, here are 10 wonderful colour filled bursts of play for kids.

Happy playing, because #playmatters.
