AnonyMouse_35585 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hi We are trying to develop our outdoor play area. We currently have the usual ride on toys, slide, balls, basketball hoop. What do your children enjoy doing most outside? What could you not do without outside? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Dens Mud kitchen water trail Sand pit Mud pit Tyre towers and tunnels Secret Graden Sensory corner Mark making studio Logs and sculptures Balancing beams Trike path Spiritual space Junk modelling Habitats Collecting, sorting, matching Printing Nature art Music and movement Pond Growing Willow dens/ sculptures What could you not do without outside? - We wouldnt be able to use our entire bodies in an uninterrupted space (interrupted by four walls and a roof) to express and extend our thoughts into a physical space that only exists within the elements of the nature itself. Outside provides a space that is limitless and has endless possibilities of what we can learn, be and become. Have a look at this http://janwhitenaturalplay.wordpress.com/ http://www.nurseryworld.co.uk/go/outdoor_play I hope that helps! Good luck and let us know how it goes! Pics would be great!

Guest Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 real house bricks! Our love them for building low level walls with sand and delivering them from end of the garden to another in wheelbarrows. A builder parent donated them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
