Parks and Playgrounds
Natural
settings such as parks, playgrounds, and beaches have so much to offer young
children. They give children an
incredible sense of freedom.
They are able to roam freely and speak without concern of disturbing
others. These settings also offer children an opportunity to learn more about the world around them.
They will learn about the plant and animal life that inhabits the
different environments.
Children will also be able to collect nature’s treasures, such as acorns, leaves, sticks, rocks, and seashells. Think about the walks you took as a child and all the wondrous things that you wanted to save forever.
