Getting outdoors to play is great for kids because it gives them a chance to move, use their energy, and stay healthy while having fun. Fresh air and sunshine boost their mood. Playing outside also lets kids meet other children and make friends. Most importantly, it gives them time to just be kids—running, laughing, and making memories.
