Resumen
Exploration process will increase the experience of children?s life primarily during their learning stages. The process of exploration helps children to get closer to nature and appreciate its surroundings. The elements of natural landscape character may potentially enable children to be more creative in gaining experience and increase new knowledge. Children learn best through free play and discovery (White, 1998). It will stimulate their positive senses, emotions and social interaction among other children and its environment. This research focuses on the investigation of the favourite place for children ages 5 and 6 years old. This research will strengthen the engagement of children experience with nature. However, there are constraints which are limiting the natural environment exposure with the children. Therefore, the elements of the natural landscape should be integrated with consideration to the children?s needs and the natural environment.Keywords: Natural landscape, children exploration, natural environmentISSN: 2398-4287© 2017.
