This little box of activities is for the quirky and curious child who is intrigued by slugs and bugs. Designed by an Ecotherapist, every activity is underpinned with a social-emotional objective to build empathy, creativity, curiosity, and support children’s overall developing brains and nervous systems. Inside this box you’ll find:
A sensory play-dough activity creating new species of insects using dried legumes.
A caterpillar puppet making activity that explores the symbolism of the life cycle of a caterpillar
A butterfly bracelet making activity that takes you outside exploring symmetry and beauty
A bug cabin craft activity that invites kids to imagine the kind of cabin they’d like to live in as a bug, and create it!
A gentle body scan meditation script featuring a curious ant
Spray-free, non-GMO colourful flower seeds for the garden
At face value, these activities are engaging, playful, and foster family connection. But hidden beneath the surface is a subtle objective of supporting children in their development of confidence, self-awareness, self-regulation, and connection to nature. It requires problem solving, fine-motor skills, creativity and imagination!
This box, and every box of Nature Mail, will have your whole family feeling grounded, connected, and joyful!
