<p>Through observations of the childrens play, I have made notes of all activities at the pre-school playground. The intention of the observations was to see if the playground environment invites and stimulate the childs motorie development. The study will be a part of a future planning work of the preschool environment.</p><p>The results show that the pre-school playground environment invites to physical activities that stimulate the childs motory development. The variation of activities is dependent on the design of the landscapes. The pedagogues taking part of the childrens activities are one of the factors which contributed to the childs choice of activity.</p><p>The preschool plays an important part in the childrens development so it is important that all personnel have basic knowledge on the importance of outdoor activities.</p><p>Keywords: Fundamental movement, motorie development, preschool playground, outdoor enviroment</p>
