A native South African who spent much of her childhood outside, Tania Swift says in this book that she is promoting the ways of moving and exploring which children have naturally done for generations. The book makes the case for ‘embodied learning’: we learn as we move and

out tips and examples for incorporating physical activity in the early years curriculum.
