Let’s Play Outside!
Parents as Teachers recently hosted a fun opportunity for our families to gather at Winchester Park to play outside in the beautiful fall weather and connect with other families. It was a wonderful time to get to know each other and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine! There was lots of running, jumping, climbing, balancing, swinging, sliding, and laughing going on! We capped off the fun by enjoying some delicious popsicles together. It was a great time! Did you know that playing outside lets your child use his/her large muscles and practice balance? It gives the brain practice putting together messages from different sources--muscles, senses, and balance. Another good thing is the stress release that comes from just being in nature. Your yard, neighborhood, playgrounds, and parks provide lots of hands-on experiences. These stimulate your child’s senses as well as introduce them to science and math fun. Parents as Teachers would like to encourage you to take advantage of the beautiful fall weather and get outside to play and enjoy nature with your child! Comments are closed.
