Outdoor and nature play in early childhood education have numerous benefits to children's sense of curiosity, in creating opportunities for them to embrace connecting with their environment and follow their ideas and wonderment. This presentation will provide an overview of ways in which outdoor environments support children in their development and quest for exploration, experimentation and discovery. Concepts such as tinkering, curiosity cycles, design thinking, 21st century skills, provocations, pedagogical documentation, and strategies to advance outdoor and nature across the seasons will be presented.
