Let’s chat nature and why it’s so valuable for the children…and for adults too!
First, let’s focus on the fact that nature is ever changing. This means it provides so many opportunities to explore, experiment, discover and move in new/different ways. It offers different sensory opportunities; observe and reflect.
Secondly, let’s also not forget that with all of these changes it brings you different, free resources and opportunities for learning all of the time!
