Skill Share

June 29, 2017Leave a comment

Tuesdays and Thursdays at the garden we host a homeschool meet up group with some vibrant international kids with a lot of secret talents. During our Skill Share classes, students step into the role of facilitator and create a class for their peers. This involves writing a lesson plan, executing it, and receiving feedback on their leadership. Throughout the process, children are encouraged to develop empathy and understanding for their peers, whether they are the ones teaching or being taught. It’s a pure and simple example of creative growth that we love holding space for.

This month we were treated to tutorials in bow and arrow making, Chinese fortune teller oragami, dance, facial sketching, balloon car making, and Pokemon molding.

Shampoo making

This weekend we had the pleasure of hosting Auntie Orn in our kitchen for an all-natural shampoo making workshop.

First we recorded our garden fresh ingredients in pictures and words.

Then we designed our bottle packaging and named our shampoo, ‘Dove’, ‘Eat Me’, and ‘Song kran’ were some of our favorite titles.

Next, we added our ingredients to a large bowl to prepare for boiling.

Once the mixture was cooled, we used our hands to squeeze ‘Ban Me’ leaves and release the soapy consistency into the liquid.

Finally, we strained our fragrant mixture and bottled it to take home.

Thanks Auntie Orn for the visit, we can’t wait for our next Sustainability for Kids workshop! See you on Saturday for soap-making!

Summer Camp: Outer space, inner mind

March 22, 2017Leave a comment

This past week our garden was full of astronauts, asteroids, aliens, a couple moons and rockets as we used our imaginations to travel to the edges of the solar system. Here are some of our favorite moments with our brilliant buddies.

One of the most delicious moments was making Chocolate Banana Oatmeal Moon Cookies, vegan and non-vegan versions. Yum Yum Yum.

Thanks to our friend Kimmy, we learned some amazing clay sculpting techniques and took home some tiny Pikachus and people!

We used a little paper, oil pastels and scissors to create a shadow puppet laser pointer with the help of a very special facilitator.

Partner poses give us a chance to experience our own strength while supporting our friends, relay races help us work together and recycled boxes make the silliest hats.

A week at the beach

We had some excellent helpers in our garden last week getting messy with sand and exploring all areas of beach life. We hope you enjoyed our sand cake, ocean in a bottle, sandpaper art, and our very favorite “Puffer fish pose.”
