Through conversations with parents and caregivers, I've gathered some ideas for incorporating Bush Kindy principles at home:
- Create a backyard play space using natural materials and loose parts play
- Encourage "texture walks" in your local park, feeling different natural surfaces
- Practice balancing on fallen logs or low walls (with supervision)
- Set up a nature art station with leaves, pebbles, and twigs
In my experience, these simple, but effective learning environments can have a profound impact on a child's physical development & confidence.
