In recent years, it has become important for parents and their children to experience nature. However, the program currently held at the park requires preparation and knowledge. Therefore, easily experiencing its contents when the program is not being conducted is not possible. Hence, we created a nature play guidebook at the Kabutoyama Forest Park to make nature play easy for parents and children. We referred two "Waldkindergarten" active in this park, involving nature play on a daily basis. After investigating the nature play here, we found five characteristics: "playing as a tool to play the nature, "play with discovery," play in sensation, "play with adventure," and "play with making." We made a guidebook off ering the following: (1) suggestions for the kind of play that can be played at each point, (2) play that does not need preparation or knowledge, (3) showing how parents should be involved with their children during play.
