Natural play environments

Natural play environments are outdoor spaces that incorporate elements from nature, such as trees, rocks, water, and plants, to create engaging areas for children to explore and learn. These environments promote imaginative play, physical activity, and sensorimotor development by offering diverse textures, shapes, and natural features. Unlike traditional playgrounds with manufactured equipment, natural play environments encourage creativity, problem-solving, and a connection to nature, supporting children's overall growth and well-being in a rich, dynamic setting.
