all five senses while exploring outdoors.

Hands on Sensory Experience and Learning
• Sight – there is so much to see in a park or a garden.
• Touch – children can experience the different textures and feel of everything in the park.
• Smell – children can experience a wide range of smells in the garden.
• Sound –On a breezy day, you can hear the rustle of leaves and plants as they move in the wind.
• Taste –A vegetable garden or fruit garden provides plenty of acceptable options.

The Great Outdoors
• “A growing body of evidence indicates that contact with nature is as important to children as good nutrition and adequate sleep, and therefore, educators need to address children’s access to nature” (Hachey and Butler, 2009).

Questions for Parents
NOW-Think about a typical day for you. Think about a typical day for your children…
• How much time do you spend outside? • How important is a visit to the park? • Does your local park have grass, trees or
flowers?• When you walk to work, school or the bus, how
many “green spaces” do you pass? • How many trees do you see?
