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…

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.
