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.
