Let your child play with nature




“Children are our most valuable natural resource” With today’s high technology, a human being has been becoming like a machine. In plus, the human is leading their children on the same way. After passing some years of life, they have to face the fast life in their future. “Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past not a future”. Then why you are leading them to practice of the future life… Let them play with nature…

Yes, I told you at first that, children are natural resource. Always, they will like the natural things first. They will like the clay, flowers, leaves, stones, seashells, butterflies and many more natural things more than the toys of high technology. They do not like to play with the colorful and technical toys for full day in a pack room, but they want to play with their parents in the lap of nature. Once, give them permission to play in the open garden or open space in front of your house and see the happiness of your child’s face. If you didn’t enjoy in the nature never in your life, then you are also invited to play with your child. For the people who don’t know what to play with the nature, I have provided some of my experiences below:

Let your child play, seat or wallow hear and there in the garden or open space. Your child will see to your face, if his/her body has become dirty by the clay. Instead of angry with them, give a big smile and agree with their game. Definitely, you child will laugh like a rippling sound of the water flow. After seeing this, I am sure; you will run to kiss your child.

Give the wet clay of garden in your child’s hand, to play. Your child will start to knead it and will try to make something. At the starting, you make the simple toys like different types of shapes (Round, Square, Triangle, Rectangle etc.) and teach them also. By the time, your child will make new and new shapes and toys from the wet clay by herself/himself. By this game, your child will really enjoy.

On the holiday, go to the she shore with your child. Let your child wallow and jump in the beachside sand. With your child, make a dream house in the sand. Now, let your child make house or shape of his/her choice. Appreciate the art of your child with a sweet smile. By the small finger of kid, write or draw something in the sand.

Let your children play with the nature more and more, by the following types of natural crafts:

  • Sand filled bottles
  • Sand Arts
  • Seashell Mobile
  • Fall Leaf Print
  • Flower Prints
  • Pressed Flowers & Leaves
  • Sand and Casting
