Nature Connectors are a free collection of ideas, resources, and activities, in English and te reo Māori. You will also find ways to connect with nature, as well as information about New Zealand’s plants and animals, and how to protect them here.

Our vision is to have a one-stop-shop of free, easy to use, child-friendly activities to pick up and run with. We have added ideas for extending and adapting each one for use with different ages and in different environments. We have also added supporting resources, links, printables and videos.

Through the Online Nature Classroom children will learn about the unique flora and fauna of Aotearoa, and the important role that each species plays in the ecosystem.

Each conservation theme is broken down into a range of hands-on activities, inquiry questions, informative videos, and a fantastic read aloud book with a follow up activity.
