Natural playgrounds
Outdoor Learning Environments, a new line of play products, extends the classroom into the outdoors, where children can play with and among natural elements such as sand, water and living plants. Through natural learning, outdoor classrooms enhance and reinforce the lessons students learn in every subject, from math to the arts. Outdoor Learning Environments come in configurations ranging from vegetable gardens to slides built into grass hills to stages where pretend play capitalizes on natural surroundings to stimulate young minds. More elaborate natural playgrounds include science labs, greenhouses, ponds, dirt trails, trike trails and mazes and reading amphitheaters.
