About the theme

There’s nothing quite like getting back to nature. Playing outside supports children’s physical, social, and emotional development, whilst allowing them to connect with the environment around them.

This month is all about engaging with natural materials in outdoor environments. These types of play invite open-ended exploration, discovery, and connection with the natural world.

Nature play experiences have endless physical benefits as they encourage movement, exploration, and discovery. Time spent outdoors is an important part of the daily routine of all age groups!
