The importance of outdoor play

The importance of outdoor play

Outdoor play is important because children really gain a sense of mastery and competency of skills from outdoor play. When they do something like climb up a little stump and maneuver their way down, they learn they can do this, which really adds to their sense of confidence.

Children also gain important physical skills because they are learning to run and use their bodies in different ways than if they were playing indoors. There’s also a lot of social interaction that goes on when they play outdoors. Because they generally receive less direction from adults, they can learn by running, yelling, and using their outside voices.
