Getting into nature with kids is not only beneficial but essential for our children’s overall development and well-being. In today's fast-paced and technology-driven world, children are spending more time indoors, glued to screens, and disconnected from the natural world.
The benefits of getting into nature with kids are vast and far-reaching. From fostering creativity and physical health to instilling environmental consciousness and promoting family bonding, spending time in nature is a valuable and enriching experience for children.
So, unplug, explore, and embrace the wonders of the natural world with our Into the Woods box, ensuring a brighter and greener future for generations to come.
As David Attenborough has said: “If children don’t grow up knowing about nature and appreciating it, they will not understand it. And if they don’t understand it, they won’t protect it. And if they don’t protect it, who will?”
The Activities for Your Investigators

Baking is a wonderful activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. But when it comes to involving children in the baking process, the benefits go beyond just creating delicious treats.
Baking with kids provides an excellent opportunity for educational growth. It allows children to learn and practice essential skills such as reading and following recipe instructions, measuring ingredients, and understanding the significance of different cooking techniques. These practical lessons in maths, science, and literacy can be reinforced in a fun and engaging way through the baking process.
Baking allows children to build self-confidence through a sense of accomplishment. Seeing the smiles on the faces of family and friends as they enjoy their creations boosts their self-esteem.
So, roll up your sleeves, gather your little chefs, and together bake a delicious giant chocolate chip cookie.
