Abstract

Activities outside the home or outdoor activities are activities carried out in open spaces that allow children to have the freedom to play and relate to various natural elements. Outdoor activities offer children natural and exciting activities, and play promotes cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being, offering the necessary conditions for children to develop and learn. This literature review discusses the impact of outdoor activities on child development. The discussion will cover outdoor activities that have many benefits for children's development, both in terms of sensory development, motor development, cognitive development, development of emotional regulation, mood, and behavior, as well as social interaction and social skills.
