Abstract
The authors point out that the game is an essential element in the process of adopting new knowledge in children early and preschool age. Children in a spontaneous way through the play come to situations when their existing knowledge is enriched and upgraded through incentives that come from their surroundings. That is why it is necessary to consider the importance of the natural environment as an element that affects the extension of cognitive, physical and mental developmental characteristics of each child. Playing in a natural environment provides children the ability to create their own activities that will ensure the development of the entire personality and lay the foundation for further academic success. Just the scientific monograph The SAGE Handbook of Outdoor Play and Learning combines outdoor play and learning. At 677 pages is a theoretical and practical presentation through the works of 67 authors who want to approach the wider outdoor concept.
