Learning
Play into Winter!
Playing outdoors is essential for our children and young people to understand, value, enjoy and protect our natural world. In Scotland, this means playing outside in all weathers.
Animals are hibernating, trees are bare, and the world stands still during the peace that winter brings. Embrace the cold, and let the joy of the winter landscape create unforgettable memories through play.
Bundle up and head outside this Winter to enjoy snow-covered hills, crunchy grass, and icy puddles. If you’re lucky, snowfall brings opportunities for sledding, snowmen, and snowball fights!
