Background
A play guide from children to adults: creating better conditions for play at home.

The Playful Fridge Code of Our Play Palace: A Guide

With this guidebook, children invite you into an imaginative universe within their Play Palace, where play is at the heart of everything.

Through humour, teasing and challenging perspectives, the book inspires adults to rediscover the value and diversity of play – with a particular focus on risky, wild, free, non-adult-directed and boundary-pushing play, which often struggles to find space in everyday life at home.

Through adults, the design creates better conditions for children’s play at home and contributes to a more diverse and vibrant play environment.
