Abstract
Today we are faced with the challenge of children playing outdoors less and less, which actually provides many benefits for early childhood development. Outdoor activities can provide stimulation not only in physical and social aspects, but also cognitive aspects and other aspects in a child's development. This literature study aims to analyze various previous studies related to the importance of playing outdoors for early childhood development. This article uses a literature review research method with reference sources from previous research. Based on the results of a search for 16 articles related to the importance of outdoor activities as meaningful activities for early childhood, most of them provide reinforcement that outdoor activities such as playing in nature and games that interact with the outside world make a major contribution to the growth and development of early childhood.
