What is Nature Play? Nature Play is going outside to play and explore. Kids spend more time indoors than ever before. Kids who play outside more often sleep better. Those who play outside are sick less than those who stay inside.
Nature Play helps kids be happy and creative. It shows how to solve problems and deal with stress.
Nature play uses the colors, textures, sights, and smells of the outdoors. There are many ways to make your own areas in your backyard! As a mom of five children, here are some cheap ideas that we have around:
- trees, flowers, and plants;
- water;
- sand and stones;
- seek and finds;
- music; and
- bug hotels.
