Invest in portable resources. Little ones will love resources


they can carry themselves (they don’t have to be expensive!). Choose an array of different colours and prints to empower young children with choice and responsibility; helping them to develop a confident sense of self.


Embed it into the everyday. Try to move


away from an ‘outdoor Fridays’ approach, keep it spontaneous so you can make the most of sunny moments. Any activity can be done outdoors with the right tools. Dry wipe floor rolls are a fun way to take drawing and writing outdoors, whilst developing motor skills.

Bring nature indoors. It’s a two way process.


With the temperamental British weather, it’s a good idea to create immersive nature themed indoor areas where little ones can bring their outdoor findings for a closer look. Use water resistant resources to get a ready-made outdoor forest school and an immersive indoor nature zone in one. Perfect for urban areas where space and nature is sparse.

Make it safe! Get in the habit of risk assessing the outdoor space in the morning so that everything is ready. Clear away sharp sticks and tripping hazards, lay out floor mats and soft seating that don’t detract from the surroundings.


Use songs and literature. Make storytime an


interactive and active part of the day. Singing ‘teddy bears picnic’ and acting out ‘we’re going on a bear hunt’ or ‘three little pigs’ can get the whole group on the move.
