The best part about Winter is the fact that the world creates a brand new outdoor environment to explore. This is why, weather permitting, we strongly encourage children to go out in the cold and snow to play. With the proper clothing for the environment, and monitoring children’s comfort, playing and exploring outdoors can help boost so many early development skills. However, when the weather starts getting dangerously cold, please do stay in and try to work those large and small muscles inside! Test out some snowman yoga, playing snowball basketball, or walking a balance beam (like the gymnasts at the winter olympics)! |
