Nature Explore Classroom
A working demonstration of children connecting with nature
Children are instantly inspired as they have a positive connection with nature in the Nature Explore Classroom at Arbor Day Farm's Tree Adventure in Nebraska City. Designed in collaboration with Dimensions Educational Research Foundation, the spaces, materials, and activities throughout the outdoor classroom encourage children to have fun building, climbing, creating, and playing while experiencing profound benefits as they play.
- A giant meandering marimba is big enough for twenty active hands.
- Natural Art Area inspires creative designs and mosaics.
- Climbing giant logs and building with rocks and tree limbs are favorites.
- A shallow stream lets children build dams and float feathers and leaves.
Children have fun while the spaces and activities enhance concentration and creativity, relieve stress, and develop imagination and a sense of wonder—all of which are motivating factors for lifelong learning.
