Abstract
⺠Outdoor play is an important aspect of young children's physical activity. ⺠We examined environmental predictors of outdoor play in Head Start preschool children. ⺠We analyzed data from FACES 2006, a representative sample of US children in Head Start. ⺠Aspects of the home environment were associated with outdoor play. ⺠Outdoor time at school was not related to outdoor time at home.
