“Who can remember being outdoors building dens, climbing trees, making perfumes from leaves and flowers or playing with mud, stones or water? Most of us have childhood memories of playing in fields, fishing for tadpoles, paddling instreams, or picking daisies.”
Children love to play outdoors, explore, and get messy!
Play Matters have put together this resource to encourage children to have more contact with the natural world, and show the impact this can have on their health development.
