Nature Playlists

Unstructured outdoor play is great for the whole family! We've got some great resources for parents and families to help you get your children outside.

Nature Playlists exist for children of all ages - whether it's:

  • To inspire kids to have new nature play experiences, particularly during the school holidays;
  • To support their growth and development through outdoor play; and
  • For fun life experiences that will get them back to nature, like climbing a tree or playing in the mud.

Print these out, or save them to your device. How many can you achieve?
