Many teachers love incorporating outdoor learning into our curriculum, but the pressure to create and manage elaborate outdoor equipment setups can feel overwhelming (time a lot if teachers may not have).

The truth is, children thrive on simple exploration and open-ended play. So maybe you don’t need the pinterest-perfect mud kitchen and instead make it easy on yourself and  lay out some buckets and old pots! and watch magic ✨️ happen.

Imagination flourishes when we give students the freedom to explore and create.
