Outdoor games are actually an expression of a natural human condition, of a child especially and it is essential in a child’s creativity development. A child whose spontaneity is inhibited will become a stereotypical adult, without having the capacity to integrate and adapt to the social environment. Psychologists consider that outdoor games, in parks, in the nature in general are a first step in this direction. Outdoor games with other children or with adults are the most important way through which the child knows his environment and develops his comprehension and learning capacity. For example a child will understand more easily that grass gets him dirty if he is running in his white socks on grassland than receiving information about a blade of grass which contains chlorophyll and this is a green substance with pigments able to let green traces in his hand.

How great would it be to have your own personal wind turbine that you can carrying around with you outdoors? The portable, umbrella-like ‘Wing’ personal windmill produces enough electricity to power cell phones, laptops, and lamps, and can be used for camping, road trips, or in developing rural areas with no access to an electricity grid.

Who ever heard of a tent that costs *that* much? It looks cool, though!! How about a bunch of these as an outdoor tree-lover’s tent-hotel? Book a night out among the trees… (then maybe more people could actually try this thing out!)

It is very important for kids to be encouraged since their early childhood to develop their creativity and spontaneity. Psychologists warn upon sort of cultural limit imposed to some children and its impact upon their adaptation and integration capacity when they become adults. There are some social patterns in some countries which inhibit spontaneity and creativity and this reality is quite a sad one. At the moment many kids study languages, they solve a lot of mathematics problems so that their creative emotions directed to social achievement are impeded. Therefore kids become little robots full of knowledge who have forgotten about outdoor games. That is why many psychologists encourage parents and teachers to consider outdoor games for their children and students as a fundamental need.
