Our Story
Hi! I'm Morgan, the face behind Nature at Play.
I am a mum, nature enthusiast and primary school teacher.
I have worked, studied or volunteered in schools for the last decade and have been a classroom teacher for the last six years.
When I had my daughter in 2022, I started developing ideas for outdoor learning activities. I thought about the students I had taught, as well as the kind of educational experiences I wanted my own daughter to have. I believe it's important for children to connect with the outdoors, play freely and that learning does not need to be confined to a desk or indoor classroom.
Within my own teaching practice, I have seen children light up when they are given the opportunity to play and learn outside. A bit of sunshine, some open space and a few rocks, leaves, shells and sticks (some of the best free learning resources around us!) can turn an average activity into something engaging - at times even awe inspiring!
Nature at Play cards help to facilitate outdoor learning and play by providing lots of different activities, ready to go in a portable pack. All you need are a few simple resources (almost all I think you will already have at home) and head outside to play!
I hope that you enjoy using our products as much as I have enjoyed making them.
