Abstract: The kaleidoscope of play in a digital world brings into sharp focus how important free play is to children. As author Angela Colvert says, ‘it is widely accepted that engaging in play supports children’s emotional, physical and cognitive development and wellbeing’. This makes it even more extraordinary how little consideration of free play there is regarding the digital world.
