The great outdoors: Developing children’s learning through outdoor provision

Many adults fondly remember the time they spent out of doors as children. This book explains why outdoor experiences are essential for development and learning, and highlights some of the opportunities children need. Written by Margaret Edgington, this book explores why it is important for children to learn through outdoor experiences, and identifies how parents and practitioners can support children’s development in this area.
