NATURE MAKERS OXFORDSHIRE WEST

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 Claire, your Nature Makers Activity Provider for the Oxfordshire West!

I live on the edge of the Cotswolds, with my 2 children. I am a qualified Early Years teacher, with more than 17 years experience working with tiny humans and their families.

My children and I enjoy exploring local woodlands, hunting for mushrooms, looking for secret fairy gardens, and enjoying the magic of our ever changing natural world. As a family we are keen to learn ways to protect our planet and be more sustainable in our way of life. I am also an avid crafter. I will try my hand at anything creative to boost my wellbeing in downtime from work.

I am incredibly excited to be able to combine my love of nature with my passion for arts and crafts as a Nature Maker. I have seen first hand how the power of nature and creativity can improve our wellbeing. I hope you will join me at my Nature Makers and Mindful Makers classes where we will engage with our wonderful world, and make some new friends along the way.
