I was inspired to create an outdoor kit for an early childhood education center because they share a large outdoor playground with a school. The grounds are bare besides a play structure and a picnic table. Permanent toys and equipment can not be left out. Kits such as this one are a perfect solution.
This was very simple to make. A table cloth (cut into a square) along with duct tape was all that was needed to design the mat. Then I purchased 10 small frisbees to be used as the game chips.
This activity is an excellent way to get children moving! It can develop their motor skills and help develop a sense of distance.
Did you know that “games with rules” are important for school aged children. Through these games they are encouraged to take turns, share and learn about competition and cooperation.
