Spring has sprung, and it’s a great time to get outside and have fun with
your kids. Why not teach them a few things while you’re at it?
Outdoor play is important to your children’s intellectual, social, and
physical development. It’s a great place for children to learn about the
world through their own discovery and get the physical activity they need to
stay healthy. Right outside your door, your child can find all sorts of
natural objects that will encourage play and learning. Outdoor play
naturally gives kids an opportunity for discovery and a sense of freedom.
There are endless learning opportunities to share with
your kids outside. While playing in the sandbox pouring sand back and forth
into different sized containers teaches about size, shape and volume.
Playing with toys on the grass and in rocks can lead to discoveries about
different textures, sounds and smells. The outdoors is the best place for
children to meet and see up close the different critters that share our
world.
Take a look at some of the activities below. Hopefully
you will get inspired to spend sometime outdoors exploring and learning with
your children. |
