The Magic of Mindful Nature Play

The Magic of Mindful Nature Play

As the days grow longer and the air fills with the scent of fresh blossoms, there is no better time to encourage children to embrace the wonders of the natural world. Spring and Summer offer the perfect backdrop for outdoor adventures, providing an opportunity for children to engage in mindful nature play, an approach that fosters creativity, curiosity and emotional well-being through meaningful interactions with the environment.

At Nature Makers, we champion the value of nature-inspired art, craft, and play, knowing that these activities cultivate mindfulness, strengthen connections with the natural world, and promote holistic development. In this feature, we explore how families and educators can incorporate mindful nature play into their spring and summer routines, ensuring children reap the full benefits of outdoor exploration.

Read the full feature in the SPRING 2025 issue of Creative Steps. Just one of the dozens of fun spring-themed activity ideas in the latest Spring issue of @creativestepsmagazine
