Spooky Season Brings New Ways to Play
October 30, 2019Play During the Holiday Season
December 19, 2019Step outside—breathe in that crisp, wintery air. As you look around, you’ll see the first snowfall has coated everything in a light dusting of white. It’s the perfect weather to stay inside with a cup of hot cocoa—but it’s also a good opportunity to get outside and play!
According to our survey, 80 percent of parents say their kids enjoy playing outdoors significantly more than playing indoors, with 41 percent agreeing strongly with this statement. That love of outdoor play doesn’t disappear in colder weather.
So, encourage your child to bundle up and get outside. Equipped with snow boots, a winter coat and cold-weather gear, they’ll be ready for anything. Make the most of play in this weather by having a snowball fight! You can also help your child build a snow fort, create a snowman or go sledding.
No matter what form of play you choose, you can feel confident that your child is gaining the physical, cognitive, emotional and social benefits that come from play. With all these benefits, what are you waiting for? Grab your winter gear and head outside to play with your child.
