Go Outside and Play!
Ride-on toy 992.23.92, Photo © CMC
In most Canadian cities, large outdoor toys can’t be used year-round; either they come into the basement or garage during winter, or they get buried in the snow, only to be found in the spring. But when the sun is shining, Canadian kids love to race around on ride-em toys, putter in the garden, and float boats.
It’s not new. Inuit and First Nations children played with outdoor toys for millennia, often to build essential skills such as hunting. For most kids today, playing outside is still educational – learning how to use a steering wheel or to dig a hole.
