Equipment that allows young children to gather and transport is extremely important in enabling them to engage with the outdoor environment effectively. They love to push and pull trolleys and wheelbarrows and they like to move around materials like sand, water and stones by hand. Resourcing these activities well will help satisfy two common schemas - transportation and containment. It will also help develop children's understanding of quantity, capacity, number and distance.
