NLI Newsletter – July 2023

NLI Shorts! Broccoli–Trees You Can Eat!

"Broccoli–Trees You Can Eat!" is part of a series of 2-3-min YouTube videos illustrating children's interactions with early childhood outdoor play and learning spaces (ECOPALS) – in this example, examining & sprouting seeds. The two initial series focus on physical activity and healthy eating. Cool season gardening is already launched. 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!
