Are you ready to reap the benefits of outdoor and risky play with your little one?
How will these guides help you?
Less than half (45%) of Australian children played outdoors and 4 out of 5 parents would like their little ones to spend more time outdoors, yet weather, heat, time, supervision and safety are constant barriers faced by parents*
The Outdoor Play Guide gives you practical, easy solutions to these barriers, provides you with over 60 simple backyard play ideas, backyard set ups to simulate free play and our favourite outdoor products.
Navigating risk is an important aspect of play and one of the ways that children learn and develop. Risky Play is important for not only physical skills but also in developing problem solving, resilience and self-esteem yet a third of Australian parents do not think it's good for play to involve risk.* Parents are worried about injuries and are unsure how to best support their baby or toddler to engage in stage and age appropriate risky play.
The Risky Play Guide & Workbook walks you through risky play at different ages and stages and provides you with a framework to support your child with easy risky play ideas to build into everyday life.
