Children learn in different spaces such as children's playgrounds, parks, forests, kindergartens and schools. Throughout the past, people spent most of their time in nature, moreover, it was both their residence and place of work. Over the years, people became more and more detached from nature and replaced it with urban life. Such way of life visibly and greatly affects the childhood of new generations, which is completely different from that of a few decades ago. However, in spite of the changes in nature, it has not disappeared. Precisely because of these changes, preschool institutions are trying to involve children more in its environment for the purposes of learning and research. This way, it has a positive impact on the development of children in all its areas and increases environmental awareness and care for nature. Nature also enables various sensory experiences and encourages the ability to observe and listen. Furthermore, nature helps in dealing with negative influences and stress. The aim of this paper is to raise awareness of the importance of children's stay in nature and highlight the impact on various development areas such as the development of motor skills, orientation and coping with nature, activity and independence, as well as coordination and balance. By implementing such pedagogy, educators encourage emotional development of the children by developing cooperation and accepting differences.
