Introducing permaculture to kids fosters a deep connection with nature and encourages screen-free outdoor activities. It promotes physical play and instils environmental stewardship through positive nature-play experiences. As well as gaining practical skills in growing and eating fresh produce, enhancing their health and nutrition, they develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities by learning to design and understand natural patterns.

Creating a woven nature hanging combines the joy of foraging with the benefits of mindfulness. Searching for materials like leaves, twigs and flowers encourages kids to explore the outdoors and develop a deeper appreciation for the natural world. Meanwhile, the repetitive motions of cutting, gathering, binding and weaving foster focus and calm, making this a perfect activity to relax, bond and create together as a family.
