Spring is one of my favourite seasons. With the flowers blooming and signs of new life everywhere, it’s the perfect time to get outside and spend more time in nature.

I have spoken on many occasions on the importance of getting outdoors (in all weathers), but Spring is truly the most perfect time to get started with this.

One of my favourite things to do is simply spend longer periods outside embracing nature. We adjust our daily rhythm so that play invitations, sensory play, art and independent play all happens outside – either in the garden or at the local park.

With that being said, sometimes it is nice to have a focus of your outdoor time, whether it be picking seasonal fruit at a local PYO, then making muffins or pies with the fruit you have collected or simply creating ‘potions’ using herbs and flowers in the garden.
