has anyone come across a book with ideas for outdoor play? My mind has gone blank and want to make my garden more exciting for the little ones x

The "Little books" by Sally Featherstone are usually good. I haven't read "The little book of outdoor play" but have some of her other ones and they are quite good. I would try googling for ideas though, also search the forum, there have been discussions on outdoor play on here before.

I have written one - it's on my website!

There is lots of information online as well -

This Norfolk booklet is good -

These are always good articles -

You will also find lots of inspiration on the play England website and here -

Hi,

Here is a list of outdoor resources, that is on the birth to five website in Lincolnshire
