ShareBENEFITS OF WINTER PLAYGROUND PLAY
During the winter months, many of us spend more time indoors. However, there are many ways to safely play outside. Additionally, continuing to use the playground and spend time outside even in winter can have several positive benefit for kids and their families.
Consider these reasons, and encourage kids and families to keep using your playground all winter:
Sunshine
Even in the snow and cold, exposure to sunshine can help improve the mood and provide a boost of vitamin D. In the winter months, it can be harder to get enough vitamin D, so the playground provides the perfect place to be able to get outside and soak up some winter sunshine.
Fresh air: Indoor air can feel stale and stifling when all the windows and doors are closed to keep out the cold. Getting outside gives you access to fresh, clean air.
Physical exercise
It can be hard for kids to get in enough physical activity inside during the winter. Even with home gym equipment and yoga videos, kids just need to run around outside to burn off that energy and stretch their muscles. Playgrounds are a fun way to do this, even in winter.
Change of pace
Being stuck inside can give anyone feelings of cabin fever, and going outside gives a nice change of scenery to break up the monotony of indoor playtime.
Imagination
The scenery around the playground can give kids a different perspective and just may spark their imagination for new ways to play. Seeing the same playground equipment in different conditions can make everything seem fresh and interesting again, and may inspire new, creative play ideas.
