The weather has been wild this month, but we've made the most of it anyways! Did you know that for young children, 90% of verbs are learned while actively participating in action? This is only one benefit of outdoor play.
We received a donation of these wonderful log stumps that have been used to make climbing structures, gates barring the "big bad wolf," drum sets, and even a campfire. It's likely the imaginative plans will continue to grow as the children use their big muscle groups and their creativity together.
The large stumps have been fun, but small tree biscuits and small logs have also been used endlessly this month as well.
The playground is also a fantastic place for artistic expression. Children love to color on walls, and with chalk outside, they CAN!
Probably the best part of the playground is the muddy puddles that form with heavy rain!
No matter the weather, get outside and have some fun. The vitamin D from the sun will do the body and the mind some good!
Remember, there's no such thing as wrong weather... just wrong clothes. :)
