The Imperatives of Outdoors Environments for Children’s Learning

Abstract

The world of children is meaningful only when they are allowed to engage with the environment particularly the outdoors. Over the years, there is a noticeable decline in outdoor engagements by children, and this is traceable to the ignorance of parents/guardians and childhood care providers. This paper, therefore, appraised the concept, features, and benefits of outdoor environments to children. It further suggests ways of structuring outdoor environments for children’s learning.
