Girls are more assertive in their action-oriented play outdoors than they are in their dramatic play indoors. In addition, children learn to be more empathic and less through social play, and they develop more skills for coping with conflict. As children engage in active play with their peers, siblings, and newfound playmates in public parks, they have opportunities to develop cooperation and leadership skills as play episodes ebb and flow. When your child and his friends aren't looking, hide them. Now go on a safari to find the animals.
Children can capture the animals with butterfly nets.
If you have multiple animals of the same types, children can hunt in teams to find one of each kind of animal. This is one for autumn. Suggest to your preschooler and his friends that they gather the fallen, leftover crunchy leaves from your yard or park. If there are enough, encourage the kids to make piles varying distances apart. Children can then play leafhopper as they jump from pile to pile.
