NATURE MAKERS CUMBRIA SOUTH

What Nature Makers says

At Nature Makers, we journey through the seasons learning about nature and the environment through mindful art, making craft and outdoor play. Each session focuses on a nature theme that we use to inspire creative early years activities, and we finish with a related story or poem.

Sessions are tailored to help children explore the natural world and develop fine motor skills. As we care about our planet, all products used are natural, eco friendly, and we always repurpose plastics and source vegan where possible.

About

Hello, I’m Elenor, your Nature Makers provider for Cumbria, South.

Having grown up in Cumbria, I have always been in & around The Lake District & love the amazing scenery & landscapes in the county.
From walking the dogs with my husband to playing in the woods with my young son, the outdoors is incredibly important to me.
I enjoy arts & crafts & love to paint & make seasonal decor. I worked as a primary school teacher for twelve years before taking a career break to move overseas for a few years. We returned to England & I expected to go back into teaching but then found Nature Makers which combines my love of the outdoors & my love of everything creative; whether it’s den building & making bows & arrows or taking photographs of natural objects & stunning scenery.

Having worked as a teacher, I ventured on many outdoor trips & saw how much children enjoy being around nature & how much they need that time in an outdoor environment.

I am really excited to be running classes in Cumbria South & I hope to see lots of people be inspired by the great outdoors!
