Green Outdoor Spaces... and MUD!

Benefits of Creative Outdoor Play

Send them out to play!

“...GREEN outdoor spaces foster creative play, improve children's access to positive adult interaction -- and relieve the symptoms of attention-deficit disorders. The greener the setting, the more the relief. By comparison, activities indoors, such as watching TV, or outdoors in paved, non-green areas, increase these children's symptoms.”

Get those washing machines ready! :)
