Welcome to Naturally Wild! 

It is no secret that children are spending more time inside than out these days. Since when did the couch become the highlight of a child’s summer? I remember a time when kids played outside in their own made up worlds and didn't want to come inside till the street lights took over. I remember a time when the saying, “stay near the house”, was frequently heard. As they became great chiefs, warriors, builders, explorers and artists, children were doing much more than playing. They were discovering, creating, and most importantly…learning. The need for children to play outdoors and engage in nature is becoming more apparent as the generation of iPhones and tablets emerge. So what can we do as a community to encourage the young minds of the next generation to get back to nature? Every week look here for tips and ideas on how to foster that love for nature in your whole family. Whether it be crafts, activities or simple reflections we are proud to help your little sprout grow up to be naturally wild.
