🦉✨ Owl Ornament Workshop - Last Weekday Classes of the Year! ✨🦉

We’re ending our weekday classes on a cozy, creative note! Using birch wood, kids will design and create their own owl ornaments, exploring natural materials, creativity, and fine motor skills while making a keepsake they’ll treasure for years to come.

This nature-inspired art lesson invites imagination, problem-solving, and self-expression and it’s the perfect way to wrap up our classes before the year comes to a close. 🌿🎨

If you’ve been meaning to join us, this is your moment because our final weekday classes of the year is always extra special.

PS. There is NO older kids class this weekend, our final one is Saturday Dec 27th!

This week had EVERYTHING — fresh snow, big science, wild play, and magic.

We built a bushcraft sundial, tracked shifting shadows, explored reflection vs. refraction with prisms and lasers, and watched kids light up as rainbows danced across the room.

Outside, the snow transformed the land into a detective playground. The kids found fox, deer, rabbit, and even bear tracks! And of course… sledding. So much sledding.

For art, we turned last week’s evergreen theme into stunning abstract prints, rolling paint over foraged sprigs to create frame-worthy winter masterpieces.

It was a day of awe, movement, learning, creativity, and pure JOY.
Come experience the wonder with us. 🌲✨

Watch the full recap and feel the magic of forest school in winter!

❄️ Why we hold Forest School in winter?

Because this is childhood.

Red cheeks, sparkling eyes, belly laughs, and sled tracks carved into fresh snow.

In one word: JOY.

Winter doesn’t stop kids, it awakens them.

It teaches resilience, wonder, creativity, and pure embodied happiness. And when they learn to love the cold, they learn to love every season of their lives.

Out here, even in the frost, they’re thriving. 🌬️✨

✨ Winter enrollment is now open — only FOUR spots left.

If you want your child to experience the joy + magic of winter in the forest, now’s the time.

Today was frigid but it was also FUN!

We started and ended the day (and filled every free moment in between) sledding. The joy was contagious and the hills were pure magic!

Our theme was Shadow and Light, and we kicked things off by creating a bushcraft sundial to track how sunlight moves throughout the day. We anchored a stick in the snow, marked the first shadow, and returned throughout the day to observe the shifting angles. The kids guessed whether the shadow would get shorter or longer, noticed its clockwise movement, and learned how seasonal changes affect the sun’s arc.

Next, we explored the property and found so many animal tracks: deer, raccoon, bear, cat, and even fox. Then we gathered around our (now snow-covered) mandala for a meditation led by Mr. Adam. He guided the children into understanding how light and shadow live not only in the natural world, but within us too and that it’s okay to have feelings that feel dark or scary. We get to shine light on those parts with care and compassion.

For our nature lesson, we warmed up in the studio to explore refraction vs. reflection. With lasers, prisms, mirrors, and crystals, the kids saw how light scatters, bends, and bounces. We talked about light as waves and particles, and the colors hidden inside white light. Even though these concepts were complex, the kids recorded beautifully in their field journals and LOVED making rainbows dance across the ceiling.

For art, we carried our Evergreen Magic theme into printmaking. Using red and green paint, rollers, and evergreen sprigs, the kids created gorgeous abstract prints that we’ll frame next week, a perfect keepsake or holiday gift.

But the most powerful part of the day? The joy. Pure, unfiltered, childhood joy. Watching the kids fly down the hills, crash into bushes, roll to avoid collisions, take turns with ease, cheer each other on, and laugh until their bellies hurt… that’s the heart of Spark Nature.

These moments become memories that last a lifetime. And yes — your kids should be absolutely exhausted after all those climbs!

Heart are so full even if we can’t feel our toes 🙃

Unstructured play isn’t “extra.” It’s essential.

When kids are given space to roam, climb, explore, negotiate, build, imagine, and just be, something magical happens: they grow into confident, capable, self-led humans.

At Spark Nature, we protect this kind of play fiercely. No rushing. No micromanaging. No forcing outcomes. Just real kids in real nature, learning through curiosity, connection, and freedom.

If you’re craving this for your child, our Winter Builders semester opens for enrollment tomorrow.

Mondays 10–3. Ages 4–13

✨ Outdoor learning
✨ Mixed-age magic
✨ Real skills + real play
✨ Emotionally present, grounded male teachers
✨ Created by homeschooling parents for our own kids 😉

Stay tuned for details!
