The Hills Eco Kidz
The Hills Eco Kidz is a nature education program for children ages 2-10. Every month, children and their families come along to engage in interactive and fun activities that teach children about the natural world.
Children nowadays are more likely to play indoors or spend time on their screens than go outside. This means children are lacking opportunities to be creative and to connect with nature.
Nurturing a connection between children and the natural environment will help your child develop an understanding of the importance nature has on the world and our day-to-day lives, as well as improve their physical and mental health and improve creative thinking!
Some things your child will learn when attending this program include:
- Learning about local native wildlife.
- Gardening, an understanding of how food grows.
- Habitat for wildlife.
- How to make a humpy and other natural hiding places.
- Bushcraft – Painting rocks and making paper animals.
- Bushfood.
- Nature bingo activities.
- Bush Adventures – Detective Trails.
- Create a Sensory Garden.
- Understanding of animal/bug cycles.
The events runs on the last Friday of the month 10am-11:30am at a location in the Hills Shire.
Details of each event will be shared around a month prior to the event date.
