🪡🌿 Stitching with nature!

Who says sewing has to happen indoors? 🌱

A simple activity with so much learning happening along the way… fine motor skills, patience, creativity and a whole lot of problem-solving! 🤎

There’s something pretty special about slowing down, using our hands and creating with what we find around us.

Nature provides the materials… the kids provide the ideas. 🌿✨

School, but not as you know it… 🌿

Big boys, muddy hands, dirty knees and plenty of adventure! 🪵🔥🌳

Our older boys love having the freedom to explore, build, climb, create, get stuck into projects and challenge themselves outdoors.

And how lucky are we to be able to explore right next door at Redwood Valley Farm! 🌳✨ What a truly magical spot to roam, discover, adventure and let imaginations run wild.

There’s always something new to discover at Curious by Nature — and plenty of room to get a little wild! 🤎
