Physical developmental needs are closely tied to children's social and emotional needs. The physical needs can vary greatly from one year to the next. Physical development can also differ significantly from child to child. Children are growing taller, heavier, and stronger. They are challenged to learn coordination and other physical skills.
The development of children’s physical abilities increases self-esteem and a sense of greater independence. It is important to remember that they are developing large muscle skills and are often awkward and clumsy. They should not be expected to sit for long periods of time. They need to be able to expend their energy and learn how to channel it in positive ways.
Children need physical exercise routinely every day. Lack of physical exercise inhibits proper growth and leaves children feeling pent-up.

Some Suggestions for Outdoor Interest Areas:
Science and Nature: Activity kits kept in the storage shed and used to explore the plant and animal life present in the outdoor space.
Woodworking: Woodworking Area Includes a workbench set up outdoors or indoors, with a variety of simple tools, safety equipment, wood scraps, and books of suggested projects. It is located near other noisy activity areas and is constantly supervised when in use. This area provides hands-on, practical learning opportunities.
Gardening: A vegetable garden in a sunny spot near the building, tools and a hose kept in the storage shed, and outside spigot to provide water.
Construction: Saw horse, boxes, planks, tires, and boards located on the grassy area next to the playground equipment.
Reading and Quiet Games: A picnic table with two benches under a shady tree, away from the noise and hubbub, books brought out from indoors, cards and small games kept in the storage shed.
Arts and Crafts: Easels, paper, paints, and brushes can be carried from indoors to a designated area of the blacktop or picnic table; tote boxes filled with craft supplies can be kept in the storage shed.
