Get ready to be part of an outdoor play revolution! Let’s get together and review outdoor play and how we can bring the inside out and outside in! Participants will consider time, space and materials, and the roles early learning educators exhibit to encourage children to experience play in a meaningful way. Setting up invitations to play that provoke children’s thinking and ideas using loose parts in the outdoor and indoor play spaces.
