Nature is Everywhere
No matter where you live — in the woods, on a mountain, near a field, along a cul-de-sac or in an urban area — if you are outdoors, you are surrounded by nature.
Outdoor play offers kids plenty of health benefits, because it:
Increases
- Physical activity
- Vitamin D levels
Decreases
- Obesity
- Risk of myopia (nearsightedness)
Promotes
- Unstructured play, key to executive function and creativity
- Curiosity, independence and ability to focus
