Outdoor play!

I have recently after playing simple games with my nephew looked into play and how much outdoor play actually helps stimulate a child’s development in all areas. I came across a website with various blogs from people talking about the different types of play and the impact on children. I was able to see that after watching a video on a little boy at a playground that play has a great impact to the way children learn and develop in all areas. I was ale to see children communicating, socialising with each other and learning by sharing, observing and helping each other. Outdoor play helps develop mathematical skills by counting for example whilst playing hopscotch. I know that this type of play helps also with imaginative and physical development and it gets children moving and using their fine and gross motor skills and I know this helps with children exercising and becoming engaged with the outdoor environment. As obesity is rising more outdoor play will help towards keeping this down for some good time. By simple outdoor playing I know is very good towards many areas and children are enjoying whilst learning.

Here is a video just showing how much play can make children's learning that much happier and more engaging.
