Research Suggests Profound Benefits for Children

At the core of Nature Explore Sourcebook is outdoor classroom research. Since 1998, Dimensions Educational Research Foundation has designed natural spaces, materials and activities. After observing and qualitatively measuring the resulting benefits from those spaces, they have developed convincing evidence from their ongoing research that positive, age-appropriate experiences with nature bring significant benefits to children, such as:

1. Better powers of observation and creativity

2. Improved ability to concentrate among all children, even those with attention deficit disorder

3. More advanced motor skills such as coordination, balance, and agility

4. The development of imagination and sense of wonder—motivating factors for life-long learning

Finally, there is a solution.

While the concerns are well known, and the benefits of nature are coming to light, Nature Explore Sourcebook is at the very forefront of offering a real, research-based solution.

Providing young children the textures, smells, beauty, and wonder of nature—as they develop life-long learning skills—with Nature Explore Sourcebook.
