Nature Play
for the 7 Senses

THERE ARE MORE THAN FIVE

Sensory experiences are constantly feeding children's bodies and brains information about themselves and the world around them.
Nature play gives those systems room to work together through movement, exploration, texture, balance, sound, imagination, and real physical experiences.
This guide helps you understand what those systems are and how everyday outdoor spaces can support them.
Yep.All seven.
