Activities & Resources

Nature-based activities, resources, and games

Our indoor and outdoor activities are designed to help children explore environmental science through creativity, curiosity, and play. From nature scavenger hunts and wildlife games to seed balls, bee hotels, and habitat-building activities, each experience encourages children to connect with the natural world in a hands-on and meaningful way.

At Dear Earth, we believe play is a powerful tool for learning. Research shows that “serious play” — playful activities designed with educational purpose — can help children develop problem-solving skills, creativity, empathy, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the world around them. By combining science, storytelling, and interactive learning, our activities transform environmental education into experiences that feel joyful, memorable, and empowering.

Every activity is grounded in real ecological research and designed to inspire action, helping children see that even small actions can make a positive difference for wildlife and the planet.

Outdoor Activities

Outdoor activities encourage children to explore, create, and connect with the natural world through hands-on learning and play. Research shows that spending time in nature can support children’s wellbeing, creativity, confidence, and curiosity, while also helping to reduce stress and strengthen their connection to the environment.

From nature scavenger hunts and wildlife spotting to creating habitats for wildlife, each activity is designed to make outdoor learning active, memorable, and meaningful. Grounded in real ecological research, our activities help children discover how small actions can positively support wildlife and biodiversity in their own communities.

Educational Games

Our educational games combine play, storytelling, and science to help children explore the natural world in an interactive and meaningful way. Through activities focused on wildlife, habitats, pollinators, and endangered species, children can strengthen skills such as memory, focus, observation, teamwork, and problem-solving while building environmental awareness.

Designed for both independent and collaborative play, these games encourage children and families to learn together, ask questions, and discover the incredible biodiversity that surrounds us. By turning environmental education into playful experiences, we aim to nurture curiosity, empathy for nature, and a lasting connection with the living world.
