welcome to dirtgirlworld
your world of award-winning nature play, sustainability education & outdoor adventures for kids & families
Learn, play and grow … with dirtgirl, scrapboy and Costa the Garden Gnome
We begin our story by honouring the Bundjalung people, the traditional owners of the land where dirtgirlworld first sprouted.
We pay deep respect to the Elders past, present and future – and thank First Nations People for caring for the earth, the plants, the creatures, the air, and the waters that flow through Country.
We carry this care in everything we do.
dirtgirlworld sprouted from real life into a TV show, and grew into a big-hearted community of eco-kids and nature-loving grown-ups.
Welcome to your online naturehood – full of muddy music, nature play, creative adventures and everyday eco-fun for families everywhere.
We’ve created this space for families to enjoy together, no matter where you live. And we’re so glad you’re here!
Scroll and explore our world of nature play ideas, eco-adventures, kids’ music and tiny actions that make a big difference!
With wheelbarrows full of nature love,
