What this covers.

This template focuses on typical risks and controls for nature art and craft in forest schools settings. You can add, remove or adapt items to match your context.

Potential benefits

  • Promotes appreciation of environmental aesthetics and design.
  • Encourages artistic expression using colors, textures, and patterns from nature.
  • Links art with mindfulness, slowing children down to observe deeply.
  • Reinforces science learning through patterns, symmetry, and classification.
  • Fosters environmental stewardship by creating with found, natural items.

Typical hazards & measures

  • Noise or overstimulationMonitor volume levels. Provide quiet areas for those who need a break. Avoid loud group announcements where possible. Keep group sizes small for intense tasks.
  • Emotional distressAllow children to opt out or switch tasks. Provide alternative simpler options. Offer encouragement and peer support. Take breaks as needed.
  • OvercrowdingSpread groups across several activity stations. Set limits on the number of children per table or tarp. Use adult helpers to monitor each zone and rotate groups to avoid crowding.
  • Tool useUse age-appropriate tools (e.g. scissors, peelers) with clear demonstrations. Enforce seated use and one tool per child. Collect tools in/out and supervise continuously. Store tools in secure containers when not in use.
  • Improper carryingDemonstrate how to carry sticks and tools safely (pointed down, two hands, walking pace). Remind regularly and monitor during transitions.
