Nature gives children room to move, observe and discover. Trees, soil, water, birds, insects and open skies offer changing sights, sounds and textures that invite attention and questions.
Children do not need a forest or a planned nature lesson to benefit. A plant on a windowsill, a bird outside the home or rain collecting in a puddle can all become starting points for exploration and care.
The Gr8 Toran gives Bachpan is Gr8 a physical form. Bring it home or gift it, to surround a child with the blessing of the 8 wonders of childhood.
Contact with nature is associated with physical activity, mental wellbeing and some cognitive and behavioural benefits in children. Natural settings can also invite sustained attention, sensory exploration and calmer forms of play.
Much of the existing evidence is observational, and outcomes vary according to the quality and accessibility of the environment. Research source: review of nature exposure and health and child and adolescent mental-health meta-review
