Joyful nature play classes for kids ages 18mo-8 years and their grown-ups
This Spring, we focus on creativity—the ability to imagine original ideas or solutions to problems and make them happen. We’ll help kids develop creative mindsets and strategies that they can use throughout their lives to invent new things, solve problems, express their ideas and feelings, and to nurture relationships. And we’ll do it all through enriching, outdoor play!

Brain Boosting Outdoor Play
Over the past decade, Tinkergarten has honed our unique approach to help kids become healthy, curious, creative and caring learners.
Nature at the core
Creatures are our teachers, mud and sticks are our tools, and every lesson deepens kids’ connection to nature.
Irresistibly playful
Each lesson is engineered as an invitation to play that kids simply cannot refuse.
Open-ended, child-led
Kids learn best when they lead the way. Plus we help parents/caregivers to support kids’ unique processes.
Part science, part wisdom
Each lesson combines early learning science with timeless wisdom about nature and childhood. It’s a magical combination.
What families are saying:
Melissa
“Tinkergarten has taught me so much more about the creativity that I’ve lost as I’ve gotten older. I remember when I used to play in the mud and how much fun it was when I was a kid.”
“I learned how and when to step back and let my son be himself in certain situations. That was a lesson that I needed so much as a parent. The leader was able to communicate this in such a gentle and generalized way that I was able to step back and see myself. Not only was that a useful lesson, it was life changing.”
Andreina
“I think the learning style fits every personality. There is guidance, but it does not feel pressured, children are able to do the activities but also explore on their own. This was great for my daughter because she is shy and also very independent.”
