Play and learn under open skys
You wouldn’t immediately associate child’s play with Roman philosophy. Nevertheless, if children hesitate when faced with a challenge and parents have difficulty letting go, we would do well to remember the wise words of the Roman philosopher Seneca:“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare – it is because we do not dare that they are difficult”. In other words – you can do a lot more than you think you can if you just dare to try…
The nature playgrounds of Fyn do not push any extremes, but they stand out by offering a high degree of play and associated learning: what can I use this for – and what happens if I do such and such?
Before you go:
When you take your children along to nature playgrounds, it is important that:1) There is plenty of time. A nature playground should be explored slowly, because often it offers possibilities you do not notice at first glance. A tree trunk shaped like a snake is just lying there, but after a while the children will try to use it in different ways and invent new games.
2) Prepare the children – tell them this is quite a special playground. Otherwise it could seem a bit boring – especially for slightly older children.
3) Respect nature. Tell the children that they must not drop litter, that although things are strong, they must not damage them – and because the playgrounds are often situated close to a wood or beach, it would be a great idea to use them as the starting point for a walk or a trip to the beach.
Have fun!
REMEMBER
Til en dag på naturlegepladsen:- A change of clothes for the children
- Extra socks, tissues and perhaps a packet of plasters
- Wellington boots and waterproof trousers
- Plenty of drinks… this can be thirsty work!
- Picnic rugs
- Sun cream and mosquito spray. Many of these playgrounds tend to attract mosquitoes.
