Jamestown, NY – Unstructured outdoor play benefits a child’s physical and mental development as well as his or her understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
Too often, concerns about safety, location, materials and the value of play are barriers in creating these experiences.
On Sunday aftenoon, September 17, Audubon Community Nature Center is offering a Nature Play Day to inspire both kids and adults to make discoveries and feel more comfortable about the natural world through play.
Children ages two to eight and their favorite adults can drop in anytime from 1:00 to 4 p.m. in Audubon’s Nature Play Area.
Extra materials will be placed in the play area such as mud kitchen equipment, hammocks, weaving material or natural building materials. A naturalist will be present to answer questions and provide information.
