LEARNING THROUGH LANDSCAPES
playnotes May 2008
What are the core values for young
children’s outdoor experiences? The
shared Vision and Values* for outdoor play,
developed by leading early years
organisations, states:
● All children have the right to experience
and enjoy the essential and special
nature of being outdoors.
● Young children thrive and their minds
and bodies develop best when they
have free access to stimulating outdoor
environments for learning through play
and real experiences.
● Knowledgeable and enthusiastic adults
are crucial to unlocking the potential
of outdoors.
This Playnotes provides just a few ideas
about how you can put this vision into
practice and suggests ways you could
celebrate outdoor play in your setting.
It
looks at four themes with ideas for play
activities in each one.
Hopefully they will
inspire you to follow your children’s
interests and create more new and
stimulating outdoor experiences.
