Kids in Nature | WINTER
Kids in Nature is a hands-on, family-centered outdoor class designed for children ages 3–8 and their parents or caregivers. Together, families will explore the winter woods, create with natural materials, and engage in playful, seasonal activities inspired by folk traditions and the natural world.
Children will have opportunities to:
Make candles in the snow
Paint and build with ice
Create nature-based winter crafts
Design and hang bird feeders
Play cultural games such as the Indigenous Sliding Game and Stiv Heks (a Norwegian freeze tag)
Through these experiences, children strengthen sensory awareness, fine motor skills, cooperation, problem-solving, and confidence in outdoor environments—all through joyful, play-based learning.
Parents and caregivers will also receive supportive guidance and access to a shared folder of nature-based resources to help extend learning beyond the class and into everyday outdoor experiences.
All participants should come dressed in weather-appropriate clothing, ready to explore and play outdoors.
