Nature Bound

04/10/2026

So many times I hear parents say that their kids just don't play outdoors very long unless there's a playground or something to play with. What we do is called framing- giving them an idea that sparks play, just an idea and see where they take it. The start of persistence season we started with a hunt for hidden supplies and each bag represented one of the 6 pillars of persistence. No fancy gadgets, but children were engaged in empirical learning as their bodies and senses were fully engaged in the experience and took the lead in how they wanted to play with the materials.

We're so excited to celebrate with one of our explorers. From the first day we met he loved my wagon, so...we made a firetruck wagon for his birthday celebration! Custom fire department badge for him to keep, wagon rides throughout the party as well as a firetruck driving course. More prep pics to come!

Nature teaches, nature inspires, nature heals. This study captures the reasons why I felt it was so important to bring more families out into nature. Benefits of spending more time outdoors can be life changing; we are nature and being more in tune with it we can change our body and mind at a deeper level than we ever thought. As technology becomes more and more prevalent in our daily life, give your children the gift of being with their greater selves by setting time everyday to play in nature, make mud balls, stack rocks, and smell the flowers. I hear from so many parents "I can't get my kids to play with this stuff for long periods of time" it's all about framing and a little participation on your part. Wonder about the things you see, notice the natural beauty and be inspired creatively, carry a nature bucket with you all the time to collect interesting nature treasures they might see, but it starts with us setting that dedicated time every day. Children bond with us in play so be a part of that and you will see how it will benefit you too. If you need inspiration for outdoor play, come join one of our classes or family events https://linktr.ee/natureboundoc

Took the boys to to see different artists' point of view and stopped at nearby Gloria Molina Grand Park first. Just being able to explore the park and play with water really helped them get settled so they could be present while at the museum. Even my 5yo enjoyed the art. The Disney Hall is also on the same street. A wonderful treat taking the train with for a stress free, fun ride. Kids ride free and adult day pass is $15 weekday and $10 on weekends with free transfers and bus rides in L.A.

What a weekend! These boys killed it on the pitch and won every single game of the tournament in over 100° heat! They played so well as a team and took their first cup home. David was so happy to be part of this incredible milestone.
