Summary/Abstract: This study emphasizes the vital role of preschool education in fostering children's development, focusing on the importance of play-based activities in natural environments. It explores how outdoor play stimulates sensory perception, motor skills, creativity, and social-emotional competencies, contributing to cognitive, social, and emotional growth in children aged 6-7. The research applies a range of pedagogical approaches, including exploratory expeditions, scientific games, role-playing, and ecological projects, to assess their impact on key developmental skills. Observations reveal that outdoor activities significantly enhance children's problem-solving, cooperation, communication, and initiative, compared to indoor settings, while emotional skills remain stable across environments. The findings highlight the potential of play activities in natural environments as effective spaces for holistic preschool development and provide practical recommendations for integrating outdoor play into educational practices to optimize children's growth.
