Outdoor Play

Introduction:

This unit will help you understand the importance of outdoor play and will give you tips on how to make it really great for the kids. American children are spending less and less time outdoors.  This is one of the reasons why there is more obesity among children today. Offering outdoor play daily can help the children in your care develop a healthy mind and body.
