Connecting Kids with Wildlife Through Art
Yellow paint line

We help elementary-aged children build curiosity and care for native wildlife through hands-on art and education. Early moments of connection shape how they see and value the world around them.

  • Nature in Your Backyard brings students outside to explore wildlife right on their school grounds with exploration tools and their own nature journals!

  • Sunshine & Smiles Kits are wildlife-themed art and activity boxes for disadvantaged kids —so they can create, learn, and connect with nature at home.

  • Wild for Art programs teach students through hands-on wildlife education with unique art projects that spotlight a variety of native species.

Kids who care about wildlife grow into adults who protect it.
