"Springs greatest joy beyond a doubt is when it brings the children out"
- Edgar Guest
Spring into Play!
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.
Spring is a wonderful time to explore your community and natural environment – get out and play!
