Outdoor Play
Involves their senses and engages them in self-initiated, hands-on exploration of the world around them.
Children who play outdoors improve their motor skills, body mass index, overall health and muscle strength. Spending active time outdoors as a kid is also important for life-long health. Children that are active in their early years generally continue to be more active as they age.
