Gail Miles is a Play Specialist and qualified teacher, with extensive experience in Education (specialising in Special Needs) and is a huge advocate for open-ended, play-based learning. Hoping to support parents and other professionals she shares examples of different types of play on her Instagram page (@the_playful_expert) to provide different examples for children to learn through daily. She loves to create and inspire others to be creative, which is shown in some of her Tuff tray plays through creating her own artwork for her own children to enjoy. This inspires their creativity to flow, and they use different resources in non-traditional ways to have fun with and learn! She also shares simple learning through play examples too – go check out her page now to see!
