Nickelodeon Netherlands and PLAYMOBIL to Host First Annual Nationale Binnenspeeldag Indoor Play Day on Saturday 27th October 2018
Playing hide and seek, doing crafts or playing? Anything is allowed at PLAYMOBIL and Nickelodeon Netherlands' inaugural Nationale Binnenspeeldag (National Indoor Play Day), taking place on Saturday 27th October 2018!
Now that the autumn evenings are getting longer and more children and their parents are staying indoors longer, the leading toy brand and number-one children's brand have partnered for Nationale Binnenspeeldag 2018, which aims to encourage parents to play indoors with their children without being disturbed by mobile phones and other electronic devices.
Joint research by PLAYMOBIL and Nickelodeon of more than 1000 parents with young children found that children and parents prefer to play board games together, but also love crafts, colours, playing with toys, frolicking, building tents and playing hide and seek. An extra reason to pull all the toys out of the closet and put the mobile phone away on Nationale Binnenspeeldag 2018!
Nationale Binnenspeeldag 2018 follows the tremendous success of Nickelodeon Netherlands' first annual Nickelodeon Familie Festival this summer.
Below is Nickelodeon Benelux's official press release announcing the exciting news. For more information, please visit http://www.binnenspeeldag.nl.

PLAYMOBIL en Nickelodeon roepen ouders en kinderen op om samen binnen te spelen op de eerste dag van de Herfstvakantie
Verstoppertje spelen, knutselen of stoeien? Alles mag op de Nationale Binnenspeeldag! Op zaterdag 27 oktober staat het binnenspelen centraal op deze eerste editie. Na het succesvolle initiatief van Nickelodeon De Nationale Buitenspeeldag, komen Playmobil en Nickelodeon met de premiere van de Nationale Binnenspeeldag. Op deze dag roepen het speelgoedmerk en de kinderzender alle ouders in Nederland op om een dag ongestoord en zonder handbereik van de mobiele telefoon, samen met hun kinderen binnen te gaan spelen. Uit gezamenlijk onderzoek onder ruim 1000 ouders met jonge kinderen, blijkt dat kinderen en ouders het liefst samen gezelschapsspelletjes doen maar ook dol zijn op knutselen, kleuren, met speelgoed spelen, stoeien, tenten bouwen en verstoppertje spelen. Een extra reden om op de Nationale Binnenspeeldag al het speelgoed uit de kast te trekken en de mobiele telefoon weg te leggen!
Nu de herfstavonden langer worden en meer kinderen en hun ouders binnenshuis verblijven, is zaterdag 27 oktober gekozen om speelactiviteiten samen te ondernemen.
Leen van Reeth, Marketing Manager bij PLAYMOBIL: “We willen kinderen én ouders helpen om samen binnen spelen opnieuw te ontdekken. Ga weer eens samen op de grond zitten en kruip mee in de fantasie van je kind met het speelgoed dat voorhanden is”.
Het speelgoedmerk en Nickelodeon hebben de handen voor deze eerste Nationale Binnenspeeldag ineen geslagen met hetzelfde doel.
Victor Coolman, Hoofd Nickelodeon: “Nickelodeon heeft als missie de wereld van kinderen een beetje speelser te maken, dan doen wij bijvoorbeeld door het maken en uitzenden van kinderprogramma’s. We vinden het heel belangrijk dat kinderen blijven spelen en zijn daarom al jarenlang initiator van de Nationale Buitenspeeldag. Om nog meer kinderen aan het spelen te krijgen is de Nationale Binnenspeeldag een nieuwe samenwerking”.
Kijk voor meer informatie, leuke inspiratiefilmpjes en tips op www.binnenspeeldag.nl
Onderzoek naar binnenspeelgedrag | Kinderen brengen het allerliefst tijd door met ouders
PLAYMOBIL deed onderzoek naar binnenspeelgedrag*. Een van de resultaten van dat onderzoek is dat als kinderen alleen spelen, het liefst 54% speelt met speelgoed, gevolgd door knutselen en kleuren, online filmpjes en series kijken en kinderprogramma’s kijken op tv. Om meer samenspel tussen ouder en kind te stimuleren zegt opvoedkundige en schrijfster van onder andere het boek Van achter het behang tot over je oren Eva Bronsveld: “Kinderen vinden het geweldig om samen met jou als ouder te spelen: samen gek doen, lachen, stoeien, of juist heel serieus en geconcentreerd aan een project werken. Kinderen genieten er vaak ontzettend van. De beste suggestie voor binnenspeelpret op de Nationale Binnenspeeldag? Het is heel leuk om je over te geven aan wat je kind bedenkt! Want meestal kunnen wij, als het op spelen gaat, meer van onze kinderen leren dan andersom.“
Verrassende spel ideeën van Eva Bronsveld, voor heel veel binnenspeelpret:
1. Met touw een web maken door het vast te knopen aan stoelpoten, deurknoppen en kastdeuren, waar je daarna om de beurt doorheen moet zien te komen zonder het touw aan te raken.
2. Tien knuffels/poppetjes/pollepels/snoepjes of andere voorwerpen verstoppen.
3. Koekjes bakken, mooie doosjes versieren om ze in te doen en in de buurt, bij andere binnenspelers rondbrengen.
4. Een schoenenwinkel maken met alle schoenen uit het hele huis.
5. Allemaal drie dingen uit huis zoeken die niks meer waard zijn en weg kunnen (is meteen je huis een beetje opgeruimd) en dan van de hele verzameling een groot kunstwerk maken.
6. Samen met één van je kinderen een poppenkastspel bedenken voor (je) andere kind(eren).
7. Een sticker plakken op alle voorwerpen in het huis die …(beginnen met de letter b, rijmen op…, je heel mooi vindt).
8. Alle figuren (Playmobil, poppen, barbies, knuffels enz) verzamelen en ze een publiek laten vormen voor de dans- of zangvoorstelling die jullie samen bedenken
9. Alle drollen uit het boekje ‘over een kleine mol die wil weten wie er op zijn kop poepte’ met klei namaken.
10. Allemaal zes woorden uit een tijdschrift knippen en daar een lopend verhaal van maken met zo weinig mogelijk aanvullingen.

Largest 'Lights On Afterschool' Rally Ever Held Is Today
Official Afterschool Alliance Press Release via PR Newswire:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Across the country, the lights will be on for afterschool programs today and this evening as students, parents, educators, policy makers, business and faith leaders, community members and others come together to show their support for afterschool programs as part of the 19th annual Lights On Afterschool. The only nationwide rally for afterschool programs, Lights On Afterschool includes more than 8,300 events in every corner of the country this year.
The Afterschool Alliance organizes Lights On Afterschool to focus attention on the urgent need to invest in afterschool programs, which provide which provide homework help, mentoring, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) activities, sports and fitness, healthy snacks and meals, art and dance, job- and college-readiness, and opportunities for hands-on, team-based learning.
A national poll released this week finds that vast majorities of the public – across gender, race, age, regional and party lines – consider afterschool programs important to their communities. There is strong support for public funding of afterschool and summer learning programs, with two in three adults saying they want their federal, state and local leaders to provide funding for these programs. Seven in ten oppose eliminating federal funds for afterschool programs, as President Trump has twice proposed to do, and 52 percent are strongly opposed. The poll of 1,001 adults was designed by Lake Research Partners and the Tarrance Group and administered by Ipsos through an online omnibus survey in September.
"This new poll and the massive turnout for Lights On Afterschool this year shows Americans understand the pivotal role that quality afterschool programs play in helping young people develop the skills they need to thrive in school and in life," said Afterschool Alliance Executive Director Jodi Grant. "All over the country today, people are seeing firsthand the skills students hone and talents they develop at their afterschool programs, which keep kids safe and inspire them to learn through fun, educational, hands-on activities. Unfortunately, there aren't nearly enough afterschool programs to meet the need. That needs to change because afterschool and summer learning programs help children reach their full potential and ready them for the jobs of tomorrow."
The New York skyline will again shine for afterschool tonight when, for the 12th consecutive year, the iconic Empire State Building is lit up in yellow and blue for afterschool. Lights will also shine for afterschool this evening across the country, as the Pennsylvania Capitol, Florida's Orlando Eye, the Indianapolis Power & Light building, buildings along the Dallas skyline, and the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore light up in honor of Lights On Afterschool. Earlier this month, the waterfalls of Sioux Falls lit up to kick off South Dakota's celebrations.
The America After 3PM household survey of 30,000 families, commissioned by the Afterschool Alliance, found that for every child in an afterschool program, two more are waiting to get in. Unmet demand is especially high in rural communities and communities of concentrated poverty. One in five students in the United States is unsupervised after the school day ends.
Governments, parents, philanthropies, businesses and others support afterschool programs, but investments are frequently under threat. Two years in a row, President Trump has proposed a budget that would have eliminated federal funding for afterschool and summer learning programs. While Congress has rejected the call to eliminate afterschool funding and included modest increases in FY2018 and FY2019, threats of cuts continue to loom.
Peachjar helps afterschool programs connect with families and is a generous sponsor of Lights On Afterschool this year.
KIND snacks joined forces with the Afterschool Alliance and Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play to support Lights On Afterschool this year by feeding healthy appetites. KIND has provided more than 400,000 KIND Kids™ bars as complimentary snacks for guests at Lights On Afterschool events around the country.
Among the more than 200 diverse national, state and local Lights On Afterschool 2018 partners supporting Lights On Afterschool this year are 4-H Afterschool, After-School All-Stars, Association for Science-Technology Centers, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Campaign for Grade-Level Reading, Camp Fire, Food Research & Action Center (FRAC), Girls Inc., National Association of Police Athletics/Activities Leagues (PAL), National League of Cities, National Recreation & Park Association, Think Together, the YMCA of the USA and others. A complete list of national Lights On Afterschool partners is here.

The Afterschool Alliance is a nonprofit public awareness and advocacy organization working to ensure that all children and youth have access to quality afterschool programs.

Nick Jr. USA to Premiere 'Rainbow Rangers' on Monday, November 5
Nick Jr. USA, Nickelodeon's top-performing preschool network, will start to premiere and show Rainbow Rangers, Genius Brands' brand-new CG-animated preschool series that blends fantasy and action-adventure with accessible, mission-based stories about friendship and saving the environment, on Monday 5th November 2018 at 3:00pm ET/PT! The premiere marks the world debut of the colorful all-new series!
The Rainbow Rangers series (52 x 11’ episodes) follows the thrilling rescue-based adventures of seven 9-year-old girls who are Earth’s first responders, protecting people, animals, resources, and the natural beauty of our world. The Rainbow Rangers, who live in the magical land of Kaleidoscopia at the other side of the rainbow, have their own distinctive personalities and superpowers. Whenever there’s trouble for the people, animals or natural wonders of the Earth, our seven heroines zoom into action and ride their Spectra Scooters across the rainbow in the sky to save the day.
Viewers will join them on exciting adventures, but also see them at home having the same daily dramas and hilarities as every preschooler watching the show. And at its heart, Rainbow Rangers is about empowering and encouraging girls and boys to take action and make a difference in their own homes and neighborhoods to improve and safeguard the planet. The Rangers, each with unique personalities and powers, will teach your preschooler all about inclusivity, trial and error, and environmental responsibility. Every viewer—boys and girls alike—will see themselves in at least one of these strong, unique and empowered Rangers!
Meet the Rainbow Rangers:
Viewers can visit nickjr.com, the Nick Jr. app and the official Rainbow Rangers show website, rainbowrangers.com to find out more about the show and its colorful superheroes and to watch exclusive video clips. Viewers can also follow the official Rainbow Rangers community on Facebook and Instagram for magical updates.
Boasting a unique and highly-accomplished team of creators from the animated motion picture world, Rainbow Rangers’ creative development and production team includes Rob Minkoff (Disney’s The Lion King director), Shane Morris (Disney’s Frozen co-writer), Tim Mansfield and New York Times Bestselling author and Emmy-nominated writer Elise Allen (Dinosaur Train, Lion Guard, Barbie specials) who is serving as head writer and co-creator. Genius Brands’ Chairman and CEO and multiple Emmy-winning producer of more than 5,000 episodes of children's programming Andy Heyward serves as executive producer, with legendary Disney alum Ruben Aquino creating key designs. Aquino is responsible for the design and animation of many of Disney’s most iconic characters from award-winning films including The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Mulan and Frozen.
Nickelodeon will launch Rainbow Rangers with 'premiere months', airing five new episodes a month, every month, beginning in November and running through March 2019, with 'Premiere Promotion' accompanying throughout.
