About
Hi, I’m Geneviève!
I’m an early childhood educator, a mom of little ones, and the maker behind Little One in Nature.
I create Montessori-inspired printables that help children ages 2–6 explore the natural world — leaves, bugs, birds, pumpkins and the changing seasons — through simple, hands-on play.
My story
Learning happens outside, with small hands and big curiosity
As an educator and a mom, I’ve seen how much young children learn when they can touch, sort, match and explore real things. But finding activities that were calm, beautiful and quick to prepare was hard.
So I started designing my own. Every printable is illustrated in soft, earthy colors, built on Montessori principles, and made to be printed and used the same day — at home, in a homeschool, or in a classroom.
