For children, play is learning and Nature Play significantly improves all aspects of child development – physical, cognitive, social, and emotional.
Some of the advantages of using natural objects are: Natural materials stimulate children's creativity and imagination as they can be used in play in many ways. For example, a fruit pod can be a figurine in imaginative play, used for imprinting in mud or clay, or currency in a game.
Our award-winning Nesk Kids Nature Play Box was designed for this very reason.
What’s Included in Nature Play Box:
A Nesk Kids Create wooden storage box with removable lid (Box has 17 compartments, is stackable, and made from solid pine wood). This quality Australian built wooden pine timber box is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, which means the timber used comes from responsibly managed sources.
