Nature Activities for Kids

 

Why organize Nature Activities for Kids?

These activities teach children and caregivers how to swap and share art supplies that often come in unsustainable packaging for supplies that come from nature. They encourage participants to value nature and their inner creativity. The activities are relatively quick and easy and can take place in any venue type (e.g. indoors, outdoors, virtually, or in-person).
