Outdoor Play Philosophy

Experiencing The World With All Senses

Playing outside provides opportunities for young children to experience the world with all their senses, this does not always have to be in a forest or green grass areas, children's senses are also heightened in urban spaces where the smells, textures, light, and noise may be different .

In outdoor spaces children can shout or be noisy, create bigger structures play games which require more expansive movements use their imagination in different ways, be more creative, messier and try out different activities, children learn best through different hand on experiences, exploring, experiencing, experimenting and making new discoveries .

"Limiting the right of children to be active throughout the day (and in all weathers) can lead to early signs of ADHD."
