Tree & Leaf-Themed Sensory Play: Hands-On Nature Exploration for Early Learners
Connecting children to trees, leaves, and forests is an essential part of British Columbia’s early childhood and primary curriculum. Exploring trees helps children understand seasonal changes, ecosystems, and environmental stewardship, while engaging in hands-on, multi-sensory learning experiences. Our handmade, bio-based resin learning tools, inspired by the natural beauty of maples, oaks, evergreens, apple trees, cherry trees, and more, encourage tactile exploration and immersive play.
