Nature is important to young children and enhances their development because it:
- Gives children a sense of
peace and fresh-air
- Allows children to develop
intellectually
- Children enhance their
emotional, social and physical abilities
- While engaging in outdoor
activities and opportunities children can be creative with nature objects
- Make observations and predictions (e.g., what the weather is like, what will happen next)
- Children are given
the opportunity to explore, investigate and communicate with
others
- Children can engage in real-life experiences (e.g., observe bugs, insects, plants)
- Allows children to develop new vocabulary (e.g., beetles, grass hoppers)
