Raising Playful Tots #7 Caroline Webster Small Fry

For most of 2009 I was on a personal quest to get outdoors and encourage play with my little ones. We love all aspects of play but like most people we have our favourites. My boys are really active so going outdoors makes perfect sense. Now that we go out I wonder what stopped me/us so much from doing all this earlier.

Today’s interview is with freelance writer, Caroline Webster of Small Fry Fun. She is a passionate believer in the magic of being outdoors & encouraging lots of unstructured play for children.She lives in Sydney, Australia with her husband and is mum to two young children. Caroline is a co-founder of the website Small Fryfun.com along with Susie Cameron & Katrina cook. She’s a published author of the book “Small Fry Outdoors” which is the second book of the three jam packed resource books available for parents & carers from Small fry She also blogs at http://salisburydowns.wordpress.com/

If you needed a bit of a prod like we did in 2009 to get outdoors or you are happy to be outside you’ll find something new to try.
