Kathleen Connors Karl, one of our rockstar Playmakers, helped this boy design his own Life is Good shirt! And we gotta say that it came out pretty awesome.

Looking for a fun activity to do with the kiddos in your life?

It’s super simple:

(1) Kids create art.
(2) If parents choose, they can snap a pic and upload to our website.
(3) Life is Good makes the tee and sends parents a link.
(4) 100% of net profits from these tees are donated to help kids heal from trauma through play.

Today we celebrate the International Day of Play — because play is not “extra” in childhood. Play is how children learn, grow, connect, create, problem-solve, and make sense of the world around them.
In a truly developmentally appropriate environment, play is valued as essential work of childhood. Through play, children build language, confidence, resilience, emotional regulation, creativity, and strong social skills. They move their bodies, strengthen their brains, and learn to navigate relationships and challenges naturally.

Childhood was never meant to be rushed. Children deserve time to wonder, imagine, explore, create, and simply be children.

Today, and every day, we honor the power of play. 🤍
