Getting outside in the fresh air has many benefits for children and adults; it can be a form of exercise, promotes healthy living and creativity and generally encourages children to be more comfortable with nature.

Outdoor spaces are usually more open than indoors, which proves children with the space to play and come out of their shells, it can be less intimidating and means that kids can be more social and learn how to interact with others without strict adult supervision. When children are outside they can blow off steam, and most importantly the best thing about it is that the kids are out of the way, amusing themselves so you can enjoy a bit of time to yourself.
