Encourage your child to enjoy the outdoors whatever the weather! Provided you are both properly dressed for the conditions, you can have fun playing outside in all kinds of weather.
When children play outdoors they:
(National Association for the Education of the Young Child)
- Appreciate beauty
- Master physical skills
- Play in new ways with their friends
- Burn more calories
- Observe and investigate nature
- Reinforce their immune system. The outside light triggers the synthesis of vitamin D. A number of studies have demonstrated that it increases academic learning and productivity ('Your Active Child' - Rae Pica).
- explore with their senses. To SEE: insects, clouds and shadows. To HEAR: traffic sounds, birdsongs, leaves rustling in the wind. To SMELL: flowers and the rain-soaked ground. To TOUCH: an animal on the farm, or the bark of a tree. To TASTE: fallen snow, a rainfrop, or a fresh picked strawberry ('Your Active Child' - Rae Pica).

15 ways of playing outside
15 manieren om buiten te spelen
1. Swinging
Going outside doesn't necessarily have to be expensive, big and far away. Babies and small kids can be extremely happy swinging on the playground behind your house.
Naar buiten gaan hoeft niet duur, groot en ver weg te zijn. Baby's en kleine kinderen zijn vaak heel gelukkig om te schommelen in de speeltuin achter je huis.

2. Outdoors Sensory play
The warm sand creates a sensorial play possibility for babies, toddlers and bigger kids.
Het warme zand is een fantastische mogelijkheid om de zintuigen te stimuleren.

3. Chasing Pigeons
The square Dam in Amsterdam is an excellent place to learn to run and to play with the pigeons, without being afraid for cars.
Op de Dam achter de duiven aanrennen is een leuke oefening om te leren rennen zonder bang te zijn voor auto's.
