#dirtisgood: our movement to get kids spending more time outside
Childhood is changing fast. Today, the average child spends less free time outside than a maximum-security prisoner. It’s critical we take action. Our mission? To give children the freedom to get outdoors: to play and learn, and get dirty, too – because by doing so children learn essential skills. Things like curiosity, resilience, inventiveness, independence and bravery – all critical for the future. Join our team of parents, educators and leading child development experts to find the best ways to help your kids explore and get dirty every day, through play. Join the #dirtisgood movement via Mumsnet and on our social channels.
