The camera zooms on tools—ropes, hoops, open spaces—and lingers on nature’s nudge: sunlight streams, breezes lift spirits, grassy fields shape sturdy limbs. With sprightly narration, the film stresses how environment fuels development through play—fresh air builds strength, peers spark teamwork—a mid-20th-century guide to growing hale and hearty.
