The ability to find solutions

Outdoors, children play, improvise, make decisions, work in teams and resolve conflicts. Because there are no ready-made games in nature, only unstructured games.

Encourages children's movement

Children who are allowed to play in nature automatically move more. This also gives them the opportunity to learn and refine new movement patterns.

Outdoor play encourages children to test their own skills:

- Can I do it ?

- How do I solve the problem?

- Is this too heavy or can I carry this?

- Can I climb over it?

Nature explains science for kids

Small experiments or close observation create a connection between science and nature.

Nature provides sunlight

Sunlight (vitamin D) is essential for the absorption of important nutrients for building bones, teeth and the immune system of children. City life is one reason they absorb less vitamin D. The more children play outdoors, the better the problem can be counteracted.

Playing freely in the garden stimulates children's creativity more than any other game and strengthens their self-confidence.
