Children's experiences formulate the values, attitudes, and the core beliefs that they will carry throughout their lives. Nature fosters their intellectual, emotional, social and physical development. However, children today spend less time outdoors than any other generation. With growing urbanization, the culture of childhood that plays outside is gone, and children's everyday life has shifted to the indoors. As a result, direct and spontaneous contact with nature is a vanishing experience of children today.
Out & About is a Nature Explorer Kit that assists children from 4 to 8 engage and interact with nature through various exploration, plays and activities. This project aims to be a way of reconnecting children back to nature by encouraging them to go outdoor and have enjoyable experiences with nature. The kit includes Exploration Tools, Creative Play Set, Activity Cards and Companion Booklet.
