The Power of Nature in Every Child’s Growth
Spending time playing and exploring in nature has a powerful impact on children. It strengthens their physical health, fuels creativity, and supports emotional well-being. Nature also encourages friendships, builds resilience, and fosters a deep, lasting connection to the world around them.
As educator David Sobel said, "If we want children to flourish, to become truly empowered, then let us allow them to love the earth before we ask them to save it." This belief guides our work and inspires everything we do.
The Vital Role of Science in Young Minds
Science experiments spark curiosity and help children make sense of the world around them. Through playful, hands-on exploration, kids develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills while building confidence and resilience. These experiences nurture a lifelong love of learning, encouraging children to ask questions, test ideas, and discover new possibilities. Science also supports their overall growth - cognitively, emotionally, and socially - by fostering deeper engagement with the world and with others.

Driven by our passion and mission to spark curiosity, creativity, and care for the natural world in children, we created the Tree Children Box. Every two months, we deliver a new nature and science activity box featuring 5 engaging activities - including learning about native plants and ecosystems, guided outdoor adventures, hands-on science experiments, and crafts using foraged and sustainable materials.
