Perhaps you can even turn snack time into an indoor picnic. On partly cloudy days, take paper and crayons outside and let the children draw clouds they see. Talk about the different shapes of the clouds, what objects they resemble, and why they change shape. On hot and sunny days, have the children bring their swimsuits for some fun water play. For young children, all you need is a sprinkler.
Outside time is one of the most important periods of a child's day.
The natural world provides endless opportunities for children as well as caregivers to learn new things.
