Linda Kinney, MA Play and Playwork will share playwork inspired play pedagogy concepts that are integral part of the North Carolina Zoo’s Kidzone and Nature Play programs. Adults can join us for this outdoor workshop in Price Park and see how to engage children with nature through play as we explore creative open-ended approaches to planning for play.

Children, who have a natural affinity for nature, are losing their connection with the outside world. Through the unique characteristics of play - unpredictability, novelty, flexibility and imagination - children have the ability to thrive and shape their world. To register, e-mail Melanie Buckingham.
