Jan White is a respected expert on the outdoors and this second edition of her popular text has been updated to reflect the latest thinking on the importance of outdoor play. The emphasis is on ensuring that all-weather play is accessible to every child in a setting and the need for practitioners who are enthusiastic and confident about this area.
The book starts with how to provide natural materials outdoors, moving on to areas such as providing experiences of the living world, setting up water play, encouraging physical play and movement and providing imaginative and creative play. There is also a chapter on construction and den play outdoors.
