This small family business is so worthy of supporting. Support assists Annie & Nico to continue to bring this resource to children & parents who need it.
The very way it opperates makes it a “Pay it forward” enterprise.
DeaneParent
Annie is an incredible educator, artist and parent who has a huge heart for children’s development, safety, learning and connectedness. The way she relates growth and groundedness to all around her through appreciation of nature, play and expression is so deep and committed – definitely a sacred calling. I have recommended the Wildering Nook to several homeschool families I know and they are so grateful!!
AbbyParent
Our kids have been loving using The Wildering Nook’s learning resources. These are definitely the best homeschool resources we have come across. Nothing beats these. Such high quality and very engaging for not only my kids but me too! I love that these are beautifully designed too, and not like a boring white worksheet. Their activity manuals really help guide me to be my own child’s teacher. Love it! Highly recommend these guys, support this small New Zealand homeschool business.

RebeccaParent
What a great little business to support. The Wildering Nook produces quality learning units. Their resources are beautifully written and illustrated with super clear instructions on how to use. From the colouring books, treasure hunts, micro and extensive educational units there are hours of learning and fun activity suggestions. We love this little companies products.
Mama KParent
I really rate The Wildering Nook’s products. My daughter loved the forest treasure hunt, and the Volcano Unit Book. Beautiful, high quality resources that make learning fun (even for grown-ups!). Nice to support a small family business too.
KatieParent
What a huge range of activities, so much value in each purchase. I love the fact that there are lots of hands-on, practical, nature based activities, my boy loves these. My daughter is obsessed with the social/interpersonal activities and creative stuff. This is hands down the best curriculum we have come across in our homeschool journey so far.
SamParent
The unit is so amazing. It is the best homeschool resource I have come across. You totally know how young minds tick and I can see the time, care, inspired ideas and effort that has been put into creating these units.
AmeliaParent & Teacher
My favourite thing in the volcano study was making the volcano model. I liked it best because I loved seeing it erupt. I like volcanoes because I live in one and I like learning about them.
MichelleChild
I feel so empowered to be my children’s teacher since our family started using the Wildering Nook’s education resources. I used to feel unconfident with homeschooling, but now I feel so supported. Not only that – my kids are obsessed!
MichelleParent
Daisy and I have loved working through the Mountains and Fire unit study. She has been learning so much and enjoying all the fun activities throughout it. The experiments help keep Daisy engaged and intrigued. The sections are beautifully broken down and coincide with the parent/teacher manual to make learning and teaching easy.
AllyParent
Thanks so much for getting my son interested in research! He’s never been that interested but he is now. You have a great job!
JosefinaParent
This is a business worth supporting! Every product is so beautifully made and my children love using them! They are inspired to learn every time and have even started wanting to read them at bedtimes.
NadiaParent
Thanks for filling a gap of what’s been missing in the New Zealand Homeschool Curriculum. Can’t wait to see more!
