Everything you need to party with nature
The audience… Under 10’s & their parents Core target is 8 yr olds – young enough to retain the power of wonder & old enough to get involved on their terms Still open to stuff that isn’t mega branded Less worried about being seen with their parents
The thinking… Can’t boil the ocean – we’ve got no budget need to focus + start a local movement that can grow into something Just want to try to spark more kids into getting hands on with nature�Concentrate on an area and make something happen there that we can then transfer to other places Need something to pull kids into nature but can’t be worthy + must have some attitude Enable kids to discover it for themselves on their terms individually in groups Create something that local organisations can get involved with
Kids parties happening indoors when they could be happening outdoors
The Proposition
The best 2 hrs in the outdoors for a bunch of 6+ year olds
Simple ideas to make your kids’ party naturally wicked
Download a basic toolkit or use the app
Places, games, recipes, ideas you can share
Lots of kids stuff happening in local parks, but nature only plays a passive
role
Interesting kids nature engagement initiatives happening, but they feel
quite scientific and ‘dry’
Where stuff is happening it is local and not necessarily as social as it could be
For many nature is somewhere else – need to encourage people to get stuck in
on their own patch Urban , suburban and rural
Need something simple, fun and low maintenance – grass roots and ground
up vs. top down
An inspiring, easy to use toolkit. Something like a PechaKucha for kids parties in the outdoors…
Our mission
Make nature exploration part of every park party
Pull more kids out of non-natural party spaces into the outdoors
Make natural wonder the glue for great kids parties

The Benefits For Kids

Loosely pack piles of snow in a series of hurdles along a course for kids to race each other, the curvier the course the better. For added fun, have them run backwards.
Using vegetation around you, challenge kids to create umbrellas, shelters, hats or other contraptions to keep the rain o! your head.
Slugs, snails and worms love to come out in the rain. Have a competition to find the fastest slug, prettiest snail or the longest worm. Kids will have fun exploring to find their competitor and creating and staging the show.

Venturing out in cold and wet is an excuse to enjoy getting dressed up in ridiculous outfits to help everyone stay warm and dry. Have fun dressing up. There is plenty of fun to be had outside even when the sun isn’t shining.

Woods are magical, mysterious places full of natural wonder for kids. Have fun letting kids roam and create with the trees and the beasties.
