Part two of the interview with Caro Webster  @salisburydowns about Outdoor play

We talk today about Outdoor play activities by balancing indoor and outdoor play.

Imaginary play outside?

Listen to the podcast by clicking the triangle play button located at the bottom of this post

I was very much encouraged to go and play outside. I remember the scuff marks on my shoes because I used my feet to stop and not my brakes. I remember  being outside a lot growing up. I did the bulk of my growing up in a small village then small town so we were never far away from being in farmland. The boys have grown up firstly in a very small village and right now in a city suburb. I know I have felt out of my depth with outdoor activities. Whether you have moved or are looking for interesting things to do outside. I know how easy it might be for us to be outside but sometimes it’s hard to motivate the little ones to stay out for long periods of time. Some can and some need a little help.

The photographs in Caroline’s book, Small Fry Outdoors really bring the ideas to light. After listening to both interviews you’ll get a sense of the type of activities to expect in this book.

I’ve really enjoyed our copy as a coffee table book and as an ideas book.
