Book Synopsis

Outdoor time is fresh-air fun time, with a wealth of opportunities for movement, creative play, and discovery.

Join a group of toddlers as they dress for outdoors; find balls, pails, binoculars, and treasures; and head outside to shout, run, play, and explore. Through a fall day that brings a sprinkling of raindrops and ends with a few early snowflakes, the children examine and collect outdoor treasures until it's time to head inside again.

Outdoor Time depicts and celebrates the steps for preparing to go outside, enjoying nature and the open air, and then making the transition back indoors. "Outdoor time is almost done, everyone!" "Goodbye, outdoor treasures. We had fun!"
