What do we need to spend an inspiring afternoon outdoors with toddlers and preschoolers? How can we create meaningful experiences even in simple park surroundings or close to the daycare? Together we will explore hands-on ideas for leading groups outdoors, observe the small wonders of nature, and discover how children can engage with all their senses.
