Children are naturally so curious about the world around them, with this instinct to explore, touch, question, and get stuck in fully. In the pace of modern life, it can sometimes feel like there are more things pulling them away from that than supporting it, even when that’s not intentional.

Here, you will find gentle ideas for those moments. Things to make with what is growing or found, small seasonal activities, baking with garden ingredients when possible and simple creative ideas that don’t require much preparation or pressure. Sometimes it will be about getting outside and sometimes it will be about bringing nature in.
