Nature Tots July Summer Program

Join us this summer for nature exploration with Nature Tots!

Tuesdays 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. Caregiver must attend.

Waving fingers through reeds, gathering cones and tucking into secret spots— Nature Tots provides a joyful opportunity for caregivers to explore and nurture their sense of wonder together.

The Nature Tots program engages both adult and child (ages: walking - to about 24 months for this one) in a variety of seasonal sensory experiences in Saskatoon’s Naturalized Parks (e.g. Gabriel Dumont Park, and Victoria Park). Caregivers (grandparents, other caregivers welcome!), will develop their nature mentorship skills through the process. We will maintain distance between pairs and any learning tools we use will be sanitized and not shared within the session. We require all participants to thoroughly wash their hands before the start-up of each session.

Nature Tots includes playing with natural materials, using tools (e.g. sticks and buckets) to explore, walking to visit different nooks within the park, playing simple nature games and singing songs.

Location: Meewasin Park (Lawson Heights Neighbourhood).

Dates: Tue, July 7th - Tues. July 28th, 2020 (4 Sessions)

Timing: We will meet at the designated meeting spot at 3:30 p.m. and depart at 3:35 p.m. Please plan to come early and go for a short walk nearby the first time to allow yourself a buffer.

Cost: $70.00/pair for 4 sessions

Cancellation Policy: A refund, minus a 10% administration fee, can be issued up until 2 days before the event. After that time no refund will be issued. If we are required cancel Nature Tots due to Covid-19 restrictions, a full refund will be provided.

I sincerely believe that for the child, and for the parent seeking to guide him, it is not half so important to know as to feel when introducing a young child to the natural world. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil.
