Fundamentals of Outdoor Play

This 2-hour workshop is a condensed version of the outdoor play course previously developed for Mosaic volunteers. Topics include:

• The importance of outdoor play for early childhood development.
• Four fundamentals of successful outdoor play, which touches on sensory play, child-led play, play with loose parts, and risky play.
• Other topics touched on include parental/caregiver roles related to outdoor play, and how to utilize space and resources easily accessible to anyone.

Participants will also be directed to links and resources for practical ideas and activities.

Note: This is a free workshop for those serving families in Communities 4 Families Downtown catchment area.
