But what if there was a way to help our little ones thrive, feel calmer, and build confidence—all while getting their hands dirty in the best way possible? That’s exactly what Play Naturally OT is all about!
Founded by experienced paediatric occupational therapist Prue, Play Naturally OT is all about helping kids (ages 0-6) and their families reconnect with nature in a fun, meaningful way.
Through one-off events and term-long programs, Prue creates immersive nature experiences that are evidence-based, developmentally appropriate, and—most importantly—loads of fun! Her signature program, set in the stunning Belair National Park, is designed to boost children’s health and wellbeing while fostering a love for the great outdoors. She also works with kindergartens, helping both children and educators embrace nature play as part of everyday learning.
WHY NATURE? WHY NOW?
Nature isn’t a trend—it’s how we’re designed to live! Research shows that children (and grown-ups, too!) function better when they’re outside, engaging all their senses. Play Naturally OT programs help little explorers build coordination, confidence, social skills, and emotional resilience, all while rolling down grassy hills, balancing on logs, anddiscovering the magic of the natural world.
THE POWER OF PLAY
For kids, play is everything—it’s how they learn, grow, and make sense of the world. That’s why every Play Naturally OT session is packed with purposeful, engaging activities that support cognitive, physical, and emotional development. It’s occupational therapy for the whole community and without the clinic walls—just fresh air, endless possibilities, and a whole lot of joy!
LET’S GIVE KIDS A NATURAL HEAD START
In a world filled with digital distractions, making time for real, hands-on nature play is more important than ever. Not only does it help children thrive, but it also nurtures their connection to the planet because happy, healthy kids mean a happy, healthy future! Want to help your child (and yourself) slow down, soak up the sunshine, and really connect?
