Outdoor Learning - The Benefits of Nature

Nature provides opportunities for children to develop their fine and gross motor skills, social and emotional skills, critical thinking and problem solving skills, communication and language skills, and lets them have fun while they do it. It has also been shown to reduce stress levels and support many aspects of physical and mental health.

These resources support teachers to take their typical lessons outdoors to reap the many benefits for nature while meeting the outcomes of the Australian Curriculum.
