Create a natural outdoor play area that truly serves as an extension of the classroom!

The goal of a natural play area is to provide children with opportunities for deep and extensive play and interactions—just like when they're indoors! To achieve this, it's important to reflect on the materials and play space available, and whether they support children's learning across different developmental domains.

This workbook guides you through a quick check of the materials, features, and play opportunities available in your outdoor play area. It also provides prompts to reflect on how the natural play area is used in children’s play.
