Recently, I sat down with Danielle Marshall from KaBOOM! to discuss nature play, one of my favorite subjects.
I hope you enjoy it, and share it widely. The more parents, educators, and communities we get on board, the better.
Remember — childhood was meant to be messy! Muddy. Slimy. DIRTY!
Let’s get those kids outside! And while we’re at it — the adults, too. Nature is for all of us. Go ahead, you know you want to…
See ya outside! ~ The Grass Stain Guru
TGSG Note: The audio gets a bit wonky on this after the first question, so I hope you will just pop on your headphones and crank it up a bit.

Great post! Packed with so much helpful information. Love the idea of creating a nature knapsack so kids can grab-and-go exploring. Thanks, Bethe!

Bethe,
This podcast is a wonderful reminder of childhood is all about! Thank you. And my kids thank you as well. They are masters of worm hike -and-seek in our little backyard. They love the experimental, fun, and mostly, dirtiness of it!
Aline.
Love it Bethe! So true…many of my most favorite memories were getting outdoors, playing, exploring and really enjoying nature. I want the same for my kids! You can learn and experience so much just from nature itself
