Nature's Playground

A survey found that up to 8 million children are in danger of ill health due to the lack of exercise. This research was commissioned to coincide with the launch of the Scout Association's Kids Outdoors campaign. The Government recommends that children do at least one hour or more of moderate physical exercise on most days but it is often the case that parents often have nowhere to go or are concerned about personal safety.

Following on from these reports, to help encourage children and their families, carers and teachers to get back out to the great outdoors, Great Little Trading Co. is showcasing a wonderful book called Nature's Playground; packed with great games and adventures to make the most of the outdoors in a controlled environment. No matter whether it's a city or village, the book shows that there are plenty of fun things to do outside and take advantage of whatever nature offers you.

From making little twig boats to sail across a pond, playing camouflage games in the summer, jumping in huge leaf piles in Autumn or creating ice mobiles in the Winter. The book encourages children's imaginations, will keep them fit and healthy and ensure them the 'time of their lives' playing in the great outdoors.
