Story House Early Learning’s Post

🌳 As #NaturePlayWeek begins tomorrow, we are reminded of the value of real world learning, especially in today’s fast paced and technology driven world. Nature offers children the freedom to move, explore, and #connect with their environment in meaningful ways 🍃 🏡 At Story House, our educators play a vital role in guiding these outdoor experiences. #Nature play is more than just fun. It helps children in many ways: - Building resilience and confidence. - Strengthening physical and social skills. - Developing curiosity and creativity. - Creating a strong connection with the natural world. 🌿 In this context, nature becomes the classroom and educators become the facilitators. They help children turn every muddy moment into a learning opportunity. ✅ Tips to expand your nature play program: - Start simple: Introduce regular nature walks or outdoor storytime. - Involve children in setup: Let them help create outdoor spaces using natural materials. - Follow their lead: Observe children’s interests and expand on them with intentional experiences. - Reflect and plan: Use nature based moments as part of your documentation and curriculum planning. - Partner with families: Encourage nature play at home through shared ideas and community connections.
