Outdoor Play
Between school, homework and the busy lives we lead today, outdoor play can often be overlooked!
Outdoor play is almost always one of our therapeutic recommendations.
Why you ask?
Outdoor play can help with:
Creativity: Being outdoors in nature can help with imagination and free play, leading too creativity in our every day habits.
Curiosity: The wonderful landscape we live in also helps with curiosity, learning and experiencing different environments.
Sleep Hygiene: Being outdoors helps us to regulate our sleep and wake cycle!
Sensory Play: Outdoor play often involves heavy work benefits which help to keep us regulated and “just right”!
