11th of April to the 22nd of April is Nature Play Week



From the 11th of April to the 22nd of April is Nature Play Week. Nature Play Week is an annual event that celebrates the importance of outdoor play and connecting children with nature. The following provides activity ideas that will help you celebrate Nature Play Week and can be implemented into the curriculum for children. If the preschool teachers came to me with this list of suggested activities I would find it very easy to provide picture books to use as provocations.

Mud Kitchen Play: Set up a mud kitchen where children can mix, pour, and create with natural materials.







  • Leaf Art: Use leaves to create prints, collages, or even crowns.





  • Bug Observation: Provide magnifying glasses for children to observe insects and learn about their habitats.





  • Building with Sticks and Stones: Encourage children to construct small structures using sticks, stones, and other natural materials.















    Planting Seeds: Teach children about gardening by planting seeds and watching them grow.









    Cloud Gazing: Lay down on the grass and let children identify shapes and patterns in the clouds.
