Welcome to the Creative Natives website

Creative Natives offers a unique outdoor experience for parents and children, school groups and home educators. We are currently running groups at Mallydams Wood near Hastings and High Woods near Tunbridge Wells.

Parent and Toddler Groups
Creative Natives aims to inspire pre-school children and their carers to use their senses to explore the world around them. Listen to the woodpeckers in spring, smell the green of summer, taste the fruits of the hedgerows in autumn and splash through the muddy puddles in winter. Through outdoor fun and creative seasonal activities using natural resources, the children learn to nurture wildlife, engage in traditional crafts and appreciate the great outdoors as a friendly living playground.


There are no groups being run at the moment, but please see the posts below that show the sort of things we used to get up to.

If you are interested in encouraging children outdoors and nurturing an interest in nature, the environment, crafts and creativity call Sam on 01797 223121 or email info@creative-natives.co.uk for more information.

Creative Partnerships
Creative Natives also works with Creative Partnerships and The Woodland Education Initiative to offer schools and other organsations working with children the opportunity to work with Creative Natives to inspire and nurture children's interest in nature, traditional crafts and outdoor fun.

The Launch Party Winchelsea 2007

Thank you to everyone who came to the Launch Party and all those that helped out. The afternoon was a great success. Much noise was made by the children making instruments from recycled rubbish with Peter Quinnell and from the amount of glue, leaves and feathers we had to clear up from the Tipi I think the mask making was enjoyed too!


Several stalls were set up on the day supporting local businesses including Wild Garden who supplied wonderful soup and hedgerow jam tarts. See below for the other businesses who enjoyed the Launch.



Rye Nature Reserve was represented by Miriam who helped the children make some bird feeders. Other activities included face painting and a toddlers assault course.


You can read what the local press had to say here.

Local businesses who supported the day included: Wild Garden Foods, The Gopsall Pottery (who also sold some lovely veggies), Sarah Benton (Arts and Crafts), The Spotted Spoon, Kate (Artist), Hannath Photography and Design, 21st Century Shepherds Huts, Doug and Richard's Oak Benches and Kirsty Hannath (Artist and Photography). Contact us if you want information on any of these businesses.
