Little Explorers Nature Play Pack — Free Printable Pack

The Story Behind the Pack

This play pack grew from my years running a home-based childcare, alongside raising my own children and caring for many other wonderful tamariki.

Some of the best learning moments happened outdoors—watching children notice insects, collect treasures, ask questions, move their bodies, and make sense of the world around them.

This printable pack is designed to encourage simple outdoor exploration through nature noticing, movement, conversation, rhymes, and playful learning activities that can be enjoyed in almost any garden or backyard.

What's Inside

• Outdoor Nature Noticing prompts
• A movement-based Garden Wiggle Rhyme
• A food forest inspired counting rhyme
• Garden-themed "Would You Rather" activities
• Simple Learning Story ideas and prompts
