We are finally past winter and summer is here, a great time to take the opportunity to get outdoors!  

Children receive incredible sensory stimulation when they are outdoors.  From touching different textures, walking bare foot through leaves and over twigs, to discovering bugs in the grass!!! Each new experience is helping our child’s brain to grow and their senses to develop, not to mention it’s a great way to spend quality time with the young ones!  Remember it is important to talk to them about these things, through knowledge is understanding.  So get your walking shoes on, call up your friends and head outdoors before winter catches up on us soon enough!

So far this year Active Movement has been delivered to Early Childhood centres, Kindergartens, Playcentres and Parent Education Groups such as Plunket, Whangarei Parents Centre, PORSE, PAFT and He Mataariki (School for Teen Parents).  Active Movement has also been represented at various events around Northland.

Enjoy the sun but play it safe!
