Case study
Child-led outdoor play
Cowgate Under 5’s Centre
Cowgate Under 5’s Centre in Edinburgh uses a holistic approach to promote children’s learning through spontaneous, creative play. Children are encouraged to develop autonomy and self-confidence. Using Outlast blocks, children at Cowgate have given adults an insight into their potential for learning and creativity.
