We've invited Samantha (Sam) Haas with Playful Acorns to join us for this month's episode of the podcast to discuss getting kids and families outdoors all year long! As part of our discussion, Sam will share some ideas for outdoor play that are easy to implement with little to no extra equipment or toys as well as some of the benefits of being outside. We'll also learn more about Sam's story and why she started playful acorns, a local organization where kids and caregivers gather and grow.

Here at CI we know that children learn best through play, and we hope this episode inspires families to explore play outdoors all year long!
