| Résumé: | Contemporary interest from scholars examining spirituality have suggested that young children have an innately rich spiritual dimension that can be nurtured when they are given opportunities to express it or when such expressions are recognised. Based on direct observations in natural settings, this article addresses the importance of children's spirituality and how outdoor play spaces, especially community parks, can contribute to a child's spiritual development through enriching activities in nature, pretend play, storytelling and intergenerational play. The article also aims to encourage consideration of a variety of strategies that can be used to support the holistic development of a young child and nurture children's spirituality. Supporting a child's spiritual development with playful activities in outdoor spaces can help to identify the child's interests, strengths and creativity through relationships that shape bonds with both families and community. |
