At C&K Taranganba, we identified a need for children to create and have access to long-term Bushcraft structures. This allows children opportunities to visit a structure, so they can extend their ideas. In the past we have built a selection of shelters, Bushcraft ladders, a Bushcraft seat, and navigated using the sun.
We love teaching children real-life skills such as knot tying and building which develops fine and gross motor skills and problem-solving skills. At our kindergarten, we believe it is important to give children the resources, times and space to explore their building choices. Many children learn building strategies from their peers and as a result, become more competent and capable themselves. We brainstorm ideas as a group to extend children's project builds.
