Natural Crayon Kit
Nachhaltig schaffen und lernen
Earthy Palette ist ein Experimentierkasten für Kinder ab 7 Jahren, der Nachhaltigkeit durch die Herstellung von natürlichen Buntstiften vermittelt. Die mitgelieferte Anleitung führt die Kinder Schritt für Schritt mit klaren Anweisungen zur Herstellung ihrer eigenen farbigen Buntstifte unter Verwendung von Abfällen aus dem Haushalt und natürlichen Zutaten aus dem Kit. Dieser Prozess fördert eine kreislauforientierte Sichtweise von Materialien und basiert auf der STEAM-Methodik. Er integriert Kunst mit biologischen und chemischen Konzepten und bietet altersgerechte Erklärungen zu relevanten Umweltthemen wie der Kreislaufwirtschaft.
