SPRING 2025: Purposeful Play Tinkergarten
PURPOSEFUL PLAY TINKERGARTEN gets kids learning outside. Kids who participate will gain the physical and mental benefits of increased outdoor time and build a lasting connection to nature.
This semester, our classes will focus on problem-solving and empathy - two core skills kids need to become curious, capable learners who can contribute to their world.
We will turn the outdoors into a discovery lab that fosters kids' problem-solving skills. Kids will wonder, observe, experiment, and work together. During the empathy series, we will help kids recognize emotions, take another's perspective, and care for each other and the planet.
