Nature Detectives

We feature 1 hour weekly 4 or 8 week sessions based on the seasonal themes of Fall-Trees as Habitat, Winter Wisdom and Spring-Nature in Motion for K-3rd grade students. We engage students to discover the mysteries of the outdoor world on their school campus or homeschool location. Our program is based on using our Nature Discovery Journals to write, draw, or record data each class. We are a skill building program; problem solving, observation, critical thinking and naturalist skills. We blend the arts, literacy, science and stories always focusing our attention on the impacts on nature and our ecosystem.

The Curious Brush

Sharing a passion for art!
I started The Curious Brush in 2016 to encourage kids to explore art, experiment with different materials, and create in new ways. The experience matters as much as the masterpiece! I’m an encourager of first attempts and second tries, and I believe the very process of creating helps kids relax, express emotion, solve problems, and feel brave and successful. I’m glad you’ve found me, thanks for visiting, and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!
