Being outside in a kids playhouse may seem like what some would consider to be standard kid’s play. However, those precious moments could actually be a major force in inspiring a child to go after work that is nature or environmentally based. Every minute that kids have outside is a minute that they are interacting, in some way, with the Earth and its many elements and inhabitants. So, for a kid, their play easily translates into a broader interest and deeper investigation into the world around them.

Some kids will want to pursue a nature-based career because they were so inspired by their outdoor experiences as a child. A nature-loving kid has several possible jobs available to them when they get older:

Horticulturalist – Plants are captivating. They are often pretty. They generally smell very nice, and they are important factors to how we live and breathe. Kids can learn more about plants through dissecting them, viewing them under a child’s microscope, or just by picking them for a vase for their playhouse. These small opportunities to interact with plants and flowers may be the spark for a kid to want to learn more about jobs dealing with them.

Floral Design – Most people love receiving flowers. Children will gain experience with many types of flowers, and plants as they play in and around their kids playhouse. As children begin to fashion bouquets for parents or to decorate their playhouse, they are actually learning some of the basic elements of what it takes to create gorgeous floral arrangements.

Animal Trainer – How exciting to train animals to do a variety of tricks! While their first experiences may only be with a lady bug that they get to move along with a stick or a lizard that they keep in a shoebox in their outdoor playhouse, some children will relish those moments and want to learn more about the field of working with animals. Fields that these children may find interesting when they grow up could include animal trainer, animal rescue worker or zoologist.

Kids playhouse fun and interacting with nature go hand-in-hand. Kids whose parents encourage them to embrace and explore the Earth and it’s wonders, may develop a deeper love and interest in science or nature-based careers.
