As South Africa prepares to mark National Play Day on August 8, Toys R Us South Africa is encouraging parents and caregivers to make a simple but meaningful commitment, spend more intentional time playing with their children through its nationwide Pledge to Play campaign. For Toys R Us South Africa marketing manager Catherine Jacoby, National Play Day is about far more than toys. National Play Day treat from Toys R UsTo celebrate National Play Day, Toys R Us stores across South Africa will host family-friendly activities, with flagship events taking place at Canal Walk, Fourways Mall and Ballito Lifestyle Centre. “Our hope isn’t simply that families come to a National Play Day event; it’s that they leave having made a promise they’ll keep long after the day is over,” she said. It’s our time, our attention and the opportunity to simply play together.”
