“Harvesting Collards” is the first in a series of 3-min videos on YouTube illustrating children’s interactions with early childhood outdoor play and learning spaces (ECOPALS™) – in this example, gardening. The two initial series focus on physical activity and healthy eating. Watch out for shorts that follow warm-season gardening, beginning with examining seeds and ending with preparing and eating the produce! A third series will focus on social-emotional development. A fourth will include all kinds of other serendipitous, unpredictable outdoor happenings. Please stay tuned! These shorts are part of the NLI Gardening Series: https://naturalearning.org/gardening-…
