#9: Navigating Play and Food Allergies with Molly Bishop
On this episode I am talking with Molly Bishop, playworker and owner of Navigation Play, a small business located in Williamsburg, Iowa. Molly organizes child-led play experiences, family events, kids classes and more while making play a priority in her community.
In addition to reviewing the importance of child-led play, Molly and I also discuss navigating hidden food allergens in play materials and how her programs strive to make a welcoming environment for anyone who wants to be involved. And now, let’s talk food allergies!
