The Benefits of Free Flow Play

Greater independence – Children set their own rules through self-directed play.
Learning at their own pace – Outdoor play supports different learning styles, ensuring no child feels rushed.
Decision-making skills – Choosing activities helps children develop confidence in their choices.
Physical and mental well-being – Outdoor play encourages movement, fresh air, and social interaction.
Environmental awareness – Children learn to differentiate between natural and man-made environments.

Outdoor Play in All Weather

Don’t let changing seasons limit these valuable experiences! Proper preparation ensures children can enjoy outdoor learning year-round:

Sunny days – Provide shaded areas, encourage sun hats, and obtain parental permission for sun cream application.
Cold and wet weather – Ensure access to warm, waterproof clothing and consider having a donation box for spare items.

A sheltered outdoor area, such as a canopy or shade sail, allows Free Flow play to continue rain or shine. Not only does it protect play equipment from becoming slippery, but if equipped with UV protection, it ensures children are shielded from harmful sun exposure while creating a cool, light, and airy space.
