National Go Barefoot Day!

Did you know, 1st June is National Go Barefoot Day! We had some fun exploring outside!

Benefits of children going outside barefoot includes:

*connecting with nature, making children more aware of their immediate surroundings

*activation of the proprioceptive system (awareness of their body position), improving balance and coordination

*stimulates nerve endings in their feet

*it improves posture and balance by strengthening the muscles in their feet and ankles

*it can stimulate pressure points in their feet
