Outside attractions

It will soon be spring and so now is the time to make sure that the children experience the 'great outdoors' in a positive and interesting way. Even very young children can take part in gardening activities, providing they are closely supervised. Sturdy, attractive equipment that is correctly proportioned for their size will also encourage children to stay on-task.
