Nature is grounding-- the sun, the air, the feel of land beneath your feet. Often times, when we are having a cranky day here, heading outside is the only reprieve from the grump!
Nature play with babies can look a bit like this:
Playing with dirt/mud
Sifting through sand
Scooping and palming rocks
Feeling textures of greenery
Picking weeds, grass and flowers
Using different containers/utensils to pour and scoop any materials
Collecting sticks, pinecones, etc.
Crawling/cruising around the outdoors
Listening to nature
It is ｎｅｖｅｒ too soon to bring your baby outside for some fresh air and exploring! The benefits are phenomenal.
