Beyond the sandpit
Workshops about the art and science of teaching children about nature in nature.
Immerse your team in nature as you gain skills to teach children naturally.
Customise this workshop to address your team's unique training needs. Choose from:
* getting started with bush kindy;
* playing with the elements: a skills-based approach to firework, tool-work and natural water play;
* practical storytelling with children;
* ecological storytelling: an approach to deepening nature connection;
* bringing children together for circle times in nature; or
* the artistic educator: weaving traditional arts into an inquiry-based approach to learning.

program.
