Several families in and around Wellingborough are receiving monthly creativity packs, and for other families who want to get involved, all materials are low cost so you can take part online too by watching the videos available on this website. Each month there will be three Wild Winter Challenge activities released online. You don’t have to be creative to get involved – the activities have been designed by Jodie and Harriet from The Wild Tribe, who will talk you through what you can do in the videos available on this page. There’s a mixture of making, stories, and things for the kids to try so hopefully you’ll find something you will all enjoy this winter! Creatives The Wild Tribe are a Northamptonshire based duo, Jodie Mitchell and Harriet Creedy-Crockford. They create magical nature-based experiences with the most earth-friendly approach possible, working with sustainable principles and aiming to reduce, reuse and recycle throughout their work.
