Education and outdoor play are essential for the emotional, behavioral, and intellectual development of children. As they grow older, it is important to provide them with activities that allow them to exercise their natural energy and develop healthy skills. Outdoor physical activity helps children build strength, focus, self-esteem, and endurance. It also allows them to develop social skills, learn to work together with their friends and colleagues.
Outdoor collaboration can improve emotional, intellectual, and behavioral development. Those who learn outdoors develop creativity, problem solving, independence, confidence and more. Outdoor education allows students to see that they are part of a whole. Exploring their local environment gives students an appreciation and awareness for their community, which causes them to act more consciously.

Outdoor activities
allow children to enjoy the fresh air, sunlight and the beauty of the world around them. They participate in more social interactions that develop empathy, collaboration and cultural competence. In addition, playing in the sun is fun and makes us happy.Therefore, outdoor activities also lead to decreased anxiety, depression, and hyperactivity among children. The National Children's Bureau in England conducted a comprehensive study on the importance of natural play and outdoor learning. Whether it's examining certain types of spooky harrows, leaves, butterfly species, using a compass, or starting a gardening project, outdoor learning provides a hands-on, real-world experience that kids love to enjoy. When a child's curriculum includes natural learning, they can explore nature, connect classroom lessons with the outdoors, and expand their practical knowledge. Therefore, in addition to scoring higher on standardized tests, outdoor learning increased children's social and personal skills.
Many researchers have attributed this improvement to the practical aspect of outdoor learning as well as its greater relevance. Giving your child the gift of outdoor play allows them to explore their imagination and creativity. Outdoor learning is also likely to help because it incorporates several beneficial factors in its own right such as bright light and exercise (which improves attention and mood). With features such as folding doors classrooms can be easily opened “taking the outdoors”.
It's important to remember that the outdoor environment is naturally more unpredictable than the indoor one. Therefore when participating in outdoor activities prepare yourself with the materials you may need from a raincoat to a water bottle. To the extent that children share these sensibilities or learn to associate nature with pleasant invigorating or uplifting experiences that will affect the way they react to outdoor learning. In addition to learning these new specific skills outdoor activities have broader benefits: problem solving thinking skills and teamwork as well as feeding curricular areas such as mathematics and English. As such exploring the outdoors allows a person to free their mind from the stress and demands of work.
