Play, including outdoor play, is essential for all children.
Being outdoors can be an exciting sensory experience for young children. Being outside is the perfect place for kids to be kids with the freedom to shout, jump, run, hop or skip. In fact, by taking children outdoors and supporting their play, you can help their development.
Young children need the opportunity to use their whole body and develop their gross motor skills. It's only when they have mastered these that they will be able to control their fine motor skills, such as using a knife and fork or holding a pencil. Let’s take a look at each of the different areas of child development that are affected by outdoor play.
