Event Details:

Bring your spirit of curiosity to our “Toddler Trailblazing” class - a supportive space for parents to learn how to make outdoor time both safe and fun for newly active toddlers. Each class blends philisophical and evidence-based discussion (your “why” of wanting to spend time outdoors, benefits of being outdoors for toddlers, creating a family culture that includes nature) and practical tips of getting outside (dressing for messy play & weather, encouraging exploration while setting boundaries, handling big emotions outdoors, toddler-specific outdoor gear, finding nearby nature, how to time outings, and more.

This session is virtual! Just like the in-person offering of this series, this is not your typical “baby and me” with stories, music, movement routines, etc. This is a parent class, with babies invited to tag along. Attend from the livingroom while you little one plays or try to do the “nap-math” to have them sleeping during class - since this is a class for parents, you have the ultimate flexibility!

You’ll leave class with a nuanced family nature plan for the toddler years. Whether you’re new to the outdoors yourself or already an outdoor-lover looking to incorporate your newest family member, this series is for you.
