Developing Relationships During Outside Play

 

I am starting to see the children playing together in meaningful ways.  They are starting to explore, take risks and develop story play.

 

 

These two were having a discussion about what could possibly be in this puddle.  Other children would come over and investigate with them for a while.  This is why it's so important for your child to have boots.

We have several spinning equipment pieces in the playground and they are always quite popular.  They have to work together to get it going fast. 

You may not be able to see it but this is a dirt bike stadium and they are all dirt bikes.
This kind of imagination in play is vital to being able to develop into mature play.
