Nurturing curiosity, creativity & confidence in the company of nature. 

What is the Curiosity Club?

Curiosity Club is for parents who long for their children to grow up with a deep connection to nature, insatiable curiosity, and the confidence to explore the world around them.

Each month, this beautifully illustrated subscription, designed for kids aged 7-12 years, offers a tactile experience that nurtures a connection to nature through meaningful, screen-free, creative activities.

With enchanting guides, engaging workbooks, and vibrant collectible patches and pins featuring different species, your kids will eagerly anticipate every delivery.

This is for your family....

You deeply care about your child’s growth, both academically and emotionally.

But, you're also a busy working parent juggling and the deluge of demands daily life brings. Finding the time and energy to create meaningful, screen-free activities can feel challenging on the best days. 

Maybe you’ve felt more than a twinge of guilt as screens fill the gaps, or frustration at the lack of sustainable, educational options that truly align with what you believe to be important.

Curiosity Club will transform your family’s free time with a beautiful, tactile monthly pack of nature-inspired activities delivered right to your door.

Imagine your child’s excitement as they eagerly anticipate each new edition, ready to explore, learn, and grow with minimal effort from you. 

You will be able to cherish moments of connection, as you find it easier to spend meaningful time together in nature, feeling the infectious curiosity and creativity that your child is developing, and discovering a sense of calm that you both needed.

Aside from the satisfaction of having found a sustainable, locally-made alternative to plastic-filled magazines, you’re bringing something special into your home - a carefully curated collection that brings beauty and purpose to playtime.

MEET RIA

I’m Ria, a mother of two (ages 5 and 9), a science communicator, and an illustrator. 

I long for my children to grow up with curiosity, creativity and confidence, yet I found it difficult to create ways to support this development with all the demands of daily life.

I want my children to grow up passion and excitement about nature, to cherish their belongings, and to value the world around them, but I struggled to find resources that didn’t add to the throwaway culture I so wanted to avoid.

Curiosity Club is my answer to this struggle. It’s the resource I wish I could find: a simple, stunning and sustainable way to connect with my children, nurture their love for the natural world, and help them grow into confident, creative individuals.

I hope it can do the same for your family.

    I am blown away by the Curiosity Club pack we received, it is such a beautiful high quality subscription, I wanted it for myself! My daughter has loved learning all of the facts and reciting them to everyone she meets and spent a relaxing morning colouring in the postcard to send to her best friend. She loves the patch too and is already excited about what is coming in the next box. So fabulous to see classic kids fun like this in a world of technology and screen time. And the best bit is that she’s learning too! So excited for the next box!

  • Ann, London

    We just received our first Curiosity Club pack, and it’s already a hit - the mix of science and art is fantastic! My kids loved science explorer’s project and learning about how leaves change colour, and then got straight into the how to draw activities. They were genuinely excited to dive in. The materials are beautiful and feel so high-quality, everything is so well thought out, I’m already looking forward to seeing what comes next.

  • Natalie, Salisbury

    Wow - Curiosity Club has blown our socks off here!  What a beautiful, mindful creation! I'm so thankful that this will help me carve out time to connect with the seasons with my son regularly and am exited about what we will learn!

    It is very exciting, really nicely presented, and is a lovely thing to do on an afternoon. I really like the fact there is a science experiment and craft.
