FAQ's

The Nature Curious Box is filled with seasonal nature activities for children aged 4 to 8. Each box contains 10- 12 activity sheets designed to encourage outdoor exploration, learning about UK wildlife, and taking eco-friendly and conservation-focused actions as a family.

At Buttercup Learning, we’re committed to ensuring that all activities in the box positively impact the environment. Our packaging follows strict sustainability principles:

• We only work with suppliers who share our eco-friendly values.
• All packaging is 100% recyclable.
• Our branded washi tape is made from rice paper, free from toxic adhesives, printed with vegan soy inks, and is home and commercially compostable (decomposes in 180 and 90 days, respectively). It can also be curbside recycled.
• Our letterboxes are supplied by Priory Direct, a B Corp-certified UK company, and are made from recycled materials. They are also recyclable and reusable.
• The yellow tissue paper is biodegradable, recyclable, and reusable—perfect for crafts or gift wrapping. Share your upcycled ideas on social media for a chance to win prizes.
• Our stickers are plastic-free and compostable (though they take longer to break down than food waste). The backing paper is recyclable.
• Nature activity sheets are printed on FSC-certified paper and made to order. Our printer operates under ISO 14001 Environmental accreditation, ships in recycled cardboard boxes, and uses sustainable inks.

The boxes are designed for children aged 4 to 8. To reduce the risk of paper cuts, all activity sheet corners are rounded.

Some Children aged 7 and up will be able to read the activity sheets independently, with some support for scientific words. Younger children may need help reading the instructions. We recommend adult supervision for outdoor foraging and craft activities.

A sibling box contains double the number of activity sheets, allowing multiple children to complete the activities without sharing.

Our activities are designed to be low-cost and simple. Craft activities use natural materials, household recycling, and basic art supplies that most families already have. We try to ensure any extras are cost effective.

Yes. Many activities can be adapted for balconies, window boxes, and visits to local parks.
