Based in Gaffield Children’s Garden at Matthaei Botanical Gardens, Nature Play Pop-ups are opportunities for children across ages and developmental stages to engage deeply, based on their own interests, curiosity, and developmental stages. For example, while some older children may be using our collections of natural loose parts to intently create a specific habitat, other children will be engaging in developmentally appropriate play of taking all the petals off the flowers in our loose parts collections. While some children will tenaciously experiment to create the largest bubbles, other children will be nearby splashing in the slippery solution. All ways of playing are good & welcome Nature Play! Come play outside with us!
