Connections in Nature for All Children

Developing a connection with nature is an integral piece of childhood. Through interactions with the natural world, children develop a sense of wonder, calm, joy, and fascination.

In this interactive session, we explore place-based learning with children of all ages. We discuss ways to move past challenges, engage stakeholders, and explore simple and meaningful open-ended play ideas that bring children outside and bring nature in.

Participants will leave with a nature play idea kit filled with strategies and inspiration, including:

Ideas that require little to no preparation or materials
Ideas that incorporate Indigenous perspectives and understandings

Date & Time:

2 Thursday evenings: June 12 & 19 • 6:30 – 8:30 pm

SUITABLE FOR ALL EARLY LEARNING AND CHILD CARE PROFESSIONALS
