PLAY

I am pleased to recommend Antonia Llull (Tonina) as an exceptional partner and supporter of The Genius of Play. I had the privilege of working closely with Tonina on Let’s Play: A Playbook for Kids of All Abilities and can confidently say that she brought invaluable expertise, dedication, and creativity to the project. Tonina demonstrated outstanding skills in ideating new and/or expanding existing content for the Playbook and consistently went above and beyond to ensure that the project progressed smoothly and on time to meet all deadlines and deliverables. Whether it was writing play ideas from scratch or working with the content already provided, Tonina’s creative approach to problem-solving was clearly visible. Tonina was always relied upon to bring an unmatched, high level of professionalism and innovation to the project. Additionally, Tonina has been a frequent contributor to the Genius of Play Expert Advice website. Her excellently written shared content on a variety of “benefits of play” topics always reaches the right note at the right time to support families and prioritize the importance of play. In addition to her knowledge, Tonina is a true team player. She always fosters an environment of collaboration and open communication, consistently connecting, asking how she can help the team. Tonina’s knowledge of how children learn, develop cognitive skills, and engage with different types of toys is invaluable. Through her Expert Advice contribution and the STEAM Accreditation program, Tonina is able to help both families AND toy manufacturers create products that support developmental milestones, promote problem-solving, creativity, and fine motor skills, while also being age appropriate. I wholeheartedly recommend Antonia Llull (Tonina) for any future projects or collaborations. She will undoubtedly add immense value to any family or team who is fortunate enough to work with her
