The Sticks, Leaves and Mudpies diet: Nature education with Chandini Chhabra
Description
Muddy hands. Sandy feet. Peaceful minds. Happy hearts.
This week, super-fun teacher and inspiring educator, Chandini Chhabra gives us the 411 on nature education. We get into all the cool, mind blowing ways in which time in nature promotes a child's learning and development. There's SOOOOOO much that nature makes better - inside our heads, for our bodies heck, definitely for the soul too!
We get into some research and evidence, jump into a couple of Chandini's awesome online nature classes and come out of this episode informed and inspired for some much needed nature-infusing, for our kids, for ourselves and for our planet.
