Why Should Kids Play Outside?

Some of the best discoveries kids make outside are about themselves.

A research study from the University of Michigan found that the average kid in America spends less than seven minutes a day running around outside in unstructured play. Seven quick minutes that are gone in a blink.

That’s not just a shame, it’s not healthy. Because doing things outside makes kids stronger and more self-reliant. Outside is where imagination and curiosity run wild. And that’s just the beginning.
