- Concept of physical exercise and its benefits
- Understanding the importance of practicing outdoor activities
- Developing gross motor skills (walking, running, balancing)
- Exploring the environment through sensory experiences

For continued development related to walking outside, you can encourage the child to:
- Practice different types of movements, such as skipping, hopping, and jumping, during walks
- Engage in nature scavenger hunts or identify objects they see during their walks
- Use sidewalk chalk to draw and create movement-based games along the route
- Participate in community walks or charity runs to further enhance their understanding of physical exercise and community involvement
