Not only is outdoor play fun, its also important for childrens development. It helps then stay fit and active, encourages creativity, imagination and lets them get face to face with nature. And most of all gives them freedom!
Whilst it is great to keep giving your children different games and activities to do.. its also important to have unstructured play. A chance for them to just enjoy themselves and do what ever it is that takes their fancy. And the park is a prime example of this. Theres always lots to do at the park!
Much to the Ducks dismay, Rio realised he could touch them today! This may or may not of ended in them running away and him bounding after them..oopsie! His face when he stroked the first one was a picture!
Gorgeous happy photos of Rio having such fun at the park! I love the ones with him bending down then chasing the ducks - I'm sure they are quicker than him. You are so right about providing our children with space and time to initiate their own creative imaginations and naturally develop their own play. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
