In this hands-on, educational class, kids will explore the world of primitive technology by learning how early humans crafted essential tools using only natural materials. Designed for curious minds and active hands, the class encourages creativity, problem-solving, and an appreciation for nature.
A highlight of the class includes making natural glue from spruce resin. Kids will collect resin, learn how to safely melt and mix it with charcoal and plant fiber to create a strong, natural adhesive—just like early humans did. This glue will be used to attach handles to stone tools or reinforce bindings, giving students a deeper understanding of resourcefulness and innovation in the past.
This class fosters hands-on learning, patience, and a connection to the natural world—all while having fun with ancient skills!
