Children's Activity: Nature Activities for Mental Health

As it’s Mental Health Awareness Week – and the theme is nature – we have put together some activities for you to enjoy at home, nursery or school to encourage everyone to get outside and enjoy some serotonin, reduce their stress and increase their well-being.

Nature is a wonderful asset to mental health because:

It releases serotonin which regulates mood
It helps us feel more grounded and connected
It reduces stress
It eases anger
It reduces anxiety levels
It supports positive physical well-being
It improves our mood
It uplifts our emotions
It reduces blood pressure and heart rate
