Outdoor Free play is so important. As we know from sensory integration theory, when multiple senses are utilized together it creates more connections in the brain leading to improved sensory processing, regulation, and learning. This is how young children learn, through their senses.
Sensory Play encourages learning through exploration, curiosity, problem solving and creativity. It helps to build nerve connections in the brain and encourages the development of language and motor skills.
By learning outdoors there is a the opportunity to engage the senses of touch, smell, hearing, taste and sight. This helps children to retain the physical memory of activities that are long lasting.
