For young children, outdoor play is extremely important for their gross motor development. A simple jungle gym with monkey bars, swings, and a slide will help little children develop strength and coordination. The funds raised through this project will replace the current equipment made up of scrap wood and old tyres and allow us to purchase a new outdoor jungle gym for the young children at Ubuhle Buzile Creche in rural Nkomazi, South Africa.

The presence of varied learning materials in schools is associated with better child learning outcomes. Different materials allow for different types of play which develops competencies across the different developmental domains. The majority of schools in South Africa do not have the necessary resources for young children, and many do not have outdoor play equipment.

While gross motor skills target the major muscle groups, fine motor skills target the small muscles used to facilitate complex and intricate movements. Everything from grasping something to writing involves fine motor skills and children must develop these skills to not have trouble coordinating and completing basic tasks. investing in outdoor playground equipment will give young children plenty of opportunities to play, grow, and learn.
