Little Scientists Webinar

STEM Hour: Connect, learn, grow

Nature play

Unstructured play activities in outdoor settings “invite open-ended interactions, spontaneity, risk-taking, exploration, discovery and connection with nature. They foster an appreciation of the natural environment, develop environmental awareness and provide a platform for ongoing environmental education.” (EYLF p.19).

Join a panel of nature play and bush kindy experts for hands-on ideas on how to integrate authentic experiences in nature into any early childhood setting. Our panel will share how your children can connect with their natural environment while making their own choices, cultivating their curiosity and expanding independent thinking.
