Planning for outdoor play every day
|
Despite the temperature drop, there's no such thing as a winter break for outdoor playtime. The benefits for children to learn, connect with nature and increase physical activity are too great to ignore, and a change of season presents unique opportunities to for play-based learning and exploration.
Whether it's free or structured play, the research has overwhelmingly shown the experience of playing outdoors for young children helps them to develop across all domains and promotes the acquisition of non-cognitive skills, attitudes, and behaviours that are essential for healthy development.
