NDGTS Holiday Wish List
This season, we’re gathering supplies that will help us continue creating hands-on learning experiences for youth in our Outdoor Explorium and STEM programs. If you’re interested in supporting in a meaningful, tangible way, here are a few items that would make a big impact:
Handmade Wooden Items
Are you handy with tools or enjoy woodworking? We would be grateful for:
- Wooden raised garden beds for our outdoor learning spaces
- Transparent Planter Box with a viewable side(s)
- Wooden activity panels inspired by the style of the Gorilla Playsets Spinner Panel
- Instead of tic-tac-toe, we’d customize them for STEM learning—such as seed → plant → product matching, or pollinator → plant matching.
