WELCOME TO THE PLAY COLLAB 🩷
This account was never planned, it kind of just happened! But, don’t all great things start that way?
What started as a very small collab group, grew into something that was kinda hard to manage! So, we brainstormed, revisited old ideas and ta-daaa ✨ #theplaycollab was born!
Essentially, this account is your central hub for all future play collabs. But it’s also SO much more:
🩷 Play theme mood boards
💜 Small business Sundays
🩵 Account if the month
🩷 Vinted bargain buys
💜 Play tray tips and tricks
🩵 Plus lots of story tags and engagement loops
If all of that sounds good to you, please give us a follow and send a DM to join in on ANY future collabs. Absolutely anyone is welcome ✨
WHO’S IN? 🧬 🌦️
We’ve chosen elemental for the next theme and we want you to look at it in two different ways: Elemental as in “of the elements” 🌦️ but also, elements of the periodic table 🧬
You could argue that this is our BIGGEST theme yet! Everything on earth is made of up of the chemical elements. Pick an element and let it inspire your next play - It’s a great opportunity for some STEM activities.
Would you like to join us for our next themed collab?
‘ELEMENTAL’ is scheduled for the 2nd of June

SMALL BUSINESS SUNDAY: Sensory Bases 🩷
Our very first Small Business Sunday and what better day to celebrate women in business than Mother’s Day (in the 🇬🇧 & 🇮🇪)
Our lovely members compiled a list of their favourite sensory base makers and this is our way of thanking them and to also celebrate their art! I think we can all agree that sensory bases are the most transformative part of a play tray, right? 🙌🏻
So without further ado, here are the makers that our members absolutely love:
@playallday.packs@mayas_play_tray@mums.memorybox@welearnthroughplayuk@rainbowplaysets.co.uk@bestowful@beyond.messy@play.with.elorias@timetoplaysensory@love_teach_play@sensoki.play@happyminds22
🩷 If we’ve missed your wonderful business from our list, we’re so sorry 🫶 Please leave us a comment about your sensory base business so we can share the love and (hopefully) send some custom your way!
🩵 Our aim here at @theplaycollab is to connect the play community 🌎 No matter where you are, what kind of play your children prefer, no matter your rep position or Instagram politics. We all have one thing in common and that’s play! So let’s do this together 👯♀️
💜 If you’d like to be part of our community here at @theplaycollab , please check out our pinned post because we’d love to collaborate with you!

You heard us! F¥€K the algorithm 🖕🏻
It really is feeling like an uphill battle lately. Posts aren’t being seen, stories are being buried and post insights are constantly telling us we’re not doing enough 🙄
So, we’ve taken things into our own hands! We’ve gathered a bunch of gorgeous play accounts and once every 3 weeks, we collaborate together on a theme and just by doing that (and engaging with each other) we’ve seen BIG results in engagement - and not only on our collab posts, on subsequent posts too!
If you’re in the need for an algorithm shake-up and like the sound of joining a bunch of like minded play accounts, give us a follow and send us a DM to join in. Everyone is welcome 🩷💜🩵
