The weather and changing seasons can provide inspiration for enhancements inside and out. The weather itself can create natural enhancements in the outdoor area that children delight in discovering. These discoveries range from a crisp blanket of snow to layers of shimmering frost, rainwater that collects and forms in inviting puddles on the floor, a variety of shadows and beams of bright sunlight. As well as allowing children to freely explore these natural enhancements with their senses, the staff can add tools and equipment and organise guided activities that can take advantage of the weather and the opportunities for Understanding the World development that can occur.
