Introducing
Nature School
Your Outdoor Learning Companion
Enrich your child's learning through outdoor exploration.
It's time to get back in nature.
Countless studies have shown how important it is to spend time in nature.
Nature is essential for children's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It ignites their creativity while fostering a sense of mindfulness. And through this outdoor play, so much learning takes place naturally.
Nature School is your outdoor learning companion.
Nature School provides activities designed to deepen your child's experience. It gives you simple ways to incorporate literacy, numeracy, fine motor development, sensory play, and crafting to your time outdoors.
"One thing I love is that the activities give options for expansion and leave room for creativity. I also feel guided because you've included so much of the rationale in the short explanations of the activities. I feel very equipped as a parent and I'm learning so much!"
TESTIMONIAL
"I feel very equipped as a parent."
—SARA A.
Nature School walks you through 7 themes using everyday outdoor materials.
As you go through each theme, we help learning unfold naturally by exposing your child to activities that focus on specific areas of development.
The first activity for each nature item focuses on literacy development. Of course, being outside in and of itself is fabulous for a child’s literacy development; children are being exposed to new vocabulary constantly! In Nature School, the activities primarily focus on learning letters.
The second activity for each nature item focuses on developing numeracy skills. Here, we practice counting, patterning, sorting, and even using tally marks!
he third activity for each nature item focuses on developing children’s fine motor skills, hand strength, pincer grip, and hand dexterity. These skills are critical for later writing.
Sensory experiences happen naturally while playing outside! The fourth activity for each nature item focuses on giving our children deep sensory play and experiences with a wide variety of natural elements. Sensory play is very calming for children and is also a fabulous way to build language
The fifth activity for each nature item is a craft. These are crafting experiences you can do right alongside your child! It is so much fun to create together and a wonderful way to build memories that last. Many of these crafts turn out beautifully, and you will be able to display them in your home.
