Tinkergarten

The Tinkergarten program includes 9 outdoor sessions facilitated by a Tinkergarten Leader. Tinkergarten classes are offered in Spokane at Mirabeau Point and Manito Park and focus on helping you and your family access and enjoy our beautiful home year-round regardless of the weather. In the Pacific Northwest, there is no bad weather, only poor clothing. Classes facilitate open-ended, exploratory, nature PLAY. Children build in their behavioral schema play through hands-on, experiential learning in mixed-age classes. Tinkergarten is a joy to children and a fantastic opportunity for caregivers to connect and build community.

Lessons are designed to engage children in play-based activities that foster a sense of joy and wonder, all while developing essential skills and a love of nature.

To kids, it’s pure and joyful fun.
