Free Downloadable Toolkit
 
Support sustainability, environmental awareness, and deep connection to Country with our Nature Hub — a free, thoughtfully curated toolkit that invites children into hands-on discovery, respectful land-based learning, and slow, mindful play.
 
This hub immerses children and young people in the natural world through gardening, seasonal observation, nature-based play, and eco-responsible practices. Whether exploring insects, tracking seasonal changes, or tending to a compost bin, the Nature Hub fosters curiosity, care, and stewardship.
 
Perfect for embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and encouraging respectful relationships with place, this toolkit supports educators in creating rich outdoor learning environments that align directly with EYLF, MTOP, and the National Quality Standard.
