My Project

In Creative Curriculum, we have so many nature studies where we learn about the climate, environment and how to take care of our Earth! We would love to add hands-on STEM learning activities into our exploration and investigation of our Recycling, Trees and Insect studies! We love building and adding Wooden Rainbow Stacking Toys will be such an engaging way to use our natural resources! We would also love to add ladybug counting, a flower and leaf press, a natural sorting tray and counting stones for an authentic way to explore our environmental investigations!

Teaching children about nature and our climate from a young age helps them develop a sense of responsibility and passion for the world around them.

Nature provides countless opportunities for discovery, creativity, problem-solving, and STEM education. Interacting with natural environments and tools will allow my preschoolers to learn by doing and experiment with ideas. Thank you so much for your support! We appreciate all your help!
