"Winter means days are less bright and less warm but this should not mean children get less play!
Play into Winter!
Playing outdoors is essential for our children and young people to understand, value, enjoy and protect our natural world. In Scotland, this means playing outside in all weathers.
The change in temperature and surrounding environment is a treasure trove of experiences and play opportunities that are vital to development and enjoyment.
Winter is a wonderful time to explore your community and natural environment – get out and play!
