Imaginative Play
Nature offers us a place where we can find peace and wonder
For children, it is the greatest playground of all, with all its diverse structures, smells and textures.
Nature offers countless opportunities for risk-taking and risk-assessing, all while ‘playing’. This helps our explorers learn through amazement, with the freedom, separate from the adult world.
