Unstructured outdoor play is crucial for young children, allowing them to explore their environment freely, and promoting sensory development and curiosity. Immersing toddlers in outdoor settings without strict guidelines fosters creativity, independence, and a deep connection with the outdoors, contributing significantly to their cognitive and emotional growth.
