THE PlayTalkRead campaign is calling for all parents and carers in East Lothian to enjoy the extra hour of daylight with their children.
With clocks set to go forward on Sunday, PlayTalkRead is encouraging parents and carers to incorporate outdoor activities into their routines.
The Scottish Government campaign encourages parents and carers of young children to play, talk and read together to give children the best possible start in life Mark McDonald MSP, Minister for Childcare and Early Years, said: “Spring is the perfect time to get out and about, and we want parents and carers in East Lothian to use the extra hour of daylight to spend time with little ones exploring the great outdoors.
“Playing, talking and reading with your child is important; it can bring parents and their wee ones closer and make their time together more enjoyable. PlayTalkRead’s list of things to do this spring doesn’t involve lots of toys or expensive equipment and can easily be incorporated into a walk to the shops or during a visit to the park.”
