Inspiring little explorers to be creative with nature
Inspiring little explorers to be creative with nature
totbag – short for ‘think outside the bag’ – is an outdoor activity bag for children aged three and up.
The brainchild of three busy mums with a friendship spanning over twenty years and 10 children aged between 12 months and 15 years between them, totbag outdoor activities was born out of our shared passion for being outdoors with our children and teaching them about the world around them.
Why totbag?
With technology increasingly present in all areas of children’s lives, we set out to design an alternative, screen-free activity that would get kids back to nature, spark their imagination, encourage creativity and enhance family time, as well incorporating the principles of Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to ensure all activities have educational benefits.
Combining our individual skills and professional experience in art, education and working with families and young children, we have created fun and educational go-anywhere bags that encourage holistic, hands-on learning and enhance education opportunities both indoors and out.
What’s in a totbag?
totbag gives families the chance to make the most of the freedom and variety of experience that nature provides, while taking into account busy lives and budget. We know how tricky it can be to find the time to identify and prepare exciting and engaging kids activities, while also sticking to a household budget – that’s why everything you need for our activities is included in our bags.
Our seasonal outdoor activities relate to each season – Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter. New, environmentally-friendly activity bags are introduced each season and three activity packs (one per month) are available within each season. Each monthly pack contains a minimum of five carefully chosen outdoor activities, alongside a booklet bursting with useful information, instructions on how to complete the activities and exciting additional fun and games.
You can purchase a one off totbag or subscribe to a monthly totbox with the first months box free.
What’s more, wherever possible we have used natural and recycled materials to create the kits, so we’re taking care of the world we are encouraging our kids to explore.
With totbag, your intrepid little explorers will spend more time outdoors, having fun and building their confidence while exploring the natural world, while you will benefit from spending quality magical time together.
So what are you waiting for? Switch off your screens, grab your totbag and get exploring!
