COVID-19 Play Packs

You are here: Home / Portfolio / COVID-19 Play Packs

Inspired by Studio Ludo, a landscape architecture firm based in Philadelphia, Gardens For Life created play kits for children during spring and summer 2020. Many children were stuck indoors during the lockdowns, and play helps kids cope in times of crisis. 

The SEEDS Play Pack contained everything kids needed to sprout seeds in a cup and watch seeds germinate in a plastic baggie.

Erica used her design skills and play expertise to create eight different kits that encouraged open-ended play and creativity. Recognizing that parents were likely overwhelmed, the kits were designed to be self-directed by children. Everything needed for the activity was provided in the kit, and instructions were provided in English, Spanish, and step-by-step drawings. Topics included planting seeds, making clay boats, and learning about birds.

Gardens For Life partnered with Friends of the Egleston Square Branch Library and Urban Edge to donate 600 Play Packs to families in affordable housing developments.

In the BIRDS Play Pack, children were encouraged to look for birds outside the window, imitate bird songs, and make a bird mask using construction paper.
