nature play philosophy
Children’s play and learning is rooted entirely in their sensory experiences…in their language of the senses.
The language of the senses is one all children understand. It’s primal. It’s truth. It’s real experience. It’s the language they use to communicate with their environment, with nature, so they may better understand the world around them and their place within it. It’s also the way nature communicates with them.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to have a sensory garden, a nature play area, at home - big or small - that engages your child’s seven senses (yes, seven!), sparks their imagination and curiosity, inspires learning, connects them deeply with nature, and celebrates their individuality?
It’s possible.
