Who Are We?
Our website address is https://rhythmsofplay.com.
Rhythms of Play was created and founded by Nell Regan Kartychok in December 2014. Rhythms of Play (“Company,” “website,” “site,” “community,” “our,” “we,” “it,” “us,” or “rhythmsofplay.com”) is an online resource for parents, caregivers, teachers, and educators doing their best to raise creative outdoor kids.
We believe in the magic of childhood, the power of the imagination, learning through play, making this world a greener place to live, getting outside in all seasons, and co-creating a life you love one rhythm at a time. Our website showcases easy arts and crafts for kids and adults, simple DIY projects for the home, garden, play yard, or schoolroom, teaching and parenting resources, and lots of seasonal holiday fun!
