Wild Play in Nature

an Article by Oak

More and more studies of childhood development have stressed the importance of wild play in nature for very young children. What is wild play? It is allowing children to play freely in nature, enjoying it in their own individual way. This is unstructured play, allowing the child to experience whatever comes along.
