Little Seeds for a Better Future
Building Connected Communities Through
Play, Creativity and Culture
For over 10 years, Conscious Kids has been designing creative community experiences that bring people together.
We believe play is one of the most powerful ways to build connected, inclusive and resilient communities. Working alongside expert play facilitators, artists and community partners from many different cultures, our programmes celebrate creativity, sustainability, cultural diversity and the richness of New Zealand culture through authentic, hands-on experiences.
Play has the power to transform communities.
From outdoor learning in schools to imaginative community events and international celebrations of traditional games, Conscious Kids creates opportunities for people of all ages to connect, explore and thrive through play.
🌈 Spring is here — come Out and About!
We’re excited to take part in the 2026 Out and About Spring Programme, bringing playful experiences to communities across Auckland from October '26 through March '27.
💚 Come along and play!
These are free community events, designed to be welcoming, inclusive and accessible for all ages.
WHAT PARENTS SAY ABOUT US
WE LOVE FOREST SCHOOL aka CONSCIOUS KIDS. My son has grown so much in the one term we have been there. It's totally prepping him and supporting him for big school. We love the days he comes back covered in mud! Forest School is wonderful!
Conscious Kids School Programmes
Play-Based learning experiences for Primary and Intermediate Schools
Outdoor Classroom Day is hands-on learning in nature. An EOTC experience at your doorstep, either on your school grounds or at a local reserve.
Activities may include shelter construction, fire starting and cooking, whittling, harakeke harvest, weaving, art activities, group games, and ecology exploration.
Junk Play is a pop-up loose parts playground where the kid's mission is to reuse and repurpose the materials, with the only limit being their imagination.
While children play and enjoy themselves we draw links to Te Marautanga o Aotearoa including connections to social sciences, health & physical education, maths, and technology.
Experience the magic of Traditional Māori Games that foster wellbeing, confidence, and connection. Sessions weave together physical movement, storytelling, and nature-based learning in a safe, inclusive space.
Grounded in Māori values and led by cultural leader Wiremu Sarich, these sessions invite tamariki to discover their strengths through joyful, hands-on play.
