The Nature Play Movement

The Nature Play Movement encourages children to connect with the outdoors and engage in unstructured play in natural environments. It emphasizes the importance of exploring nature for physical, emotional, and cognitive development. By playing outside, children gain benefits such as creativity, cooperation, and problem-solving skills while also fostering a sense of wonder and respect for the environment. This movement counters the trend of indoor, screen-based activities, advocating for more time spent in nature as essential for childhood development and well-being.
