Nature Craft is a series of arts & nature-based learning experiences especially designed for the children aged 6-10 to cultivate a relationship to the natural world by means of craft-art projects. This course utilizes materials that are readily accessible in the child’s natural environment as well as materials that can be sourced locally.
