Outdoor play specialist Jane Pilskalnietis joins us for a fascinating dive into the world of outdoor free play and why it’s so important. Get ready for a visualisation exercise that will help you understand how different our kids’ world might be to when we were kids!
Takeaways:
- Free play can help kids’ bodies, brains and social skills.
- Begin with a mindset that getting outdoors with your kids is an essential part of life.
- Start with 15 minutes a day.
- Consider bringing “loose parts” outside, which are open ended things that kids can play with, such as buckets, shovels, piping, milk crates, rope (with supervision!) and kitchen utensils.
