Sounds like an order, but it's really only a suggestion.

Get Outside! is gentle encouragement to do just that, in the form of interactive experiences for you to enjoy with your little ones. Children are, as you know, naturally curious, and honing their powers of observation is important for their future science success. (You might learn a thing or two as well!)

There are four categories of Get Outside!s to explore:
The Beach, Starwatching, Camouflage, Materials

Get Outside!s are interactive animated features to enjoy and we have also made notes for grown ups and other fun sheets to help extend the experience. Get Outside!s are aimed at small children, and anyone else who likes to get outside and discover the world.
