A novel collection of natural resources for young children is now available from Link2Nature, a company set up by secondary school pupils as part of their entry to Young Enterprise 2012.
The 12 young entrepreneurs are pupils at Beech Grove Academy, which is attended by the children of Kent's two Bruderhof communities, which produce the Community Playthings range of toys and equipment.
For the competition, pupils are challenged to set up a business and sell products or a service for a profit. Drawing on the spirit of heuristic play and the principles of Community Playthings, the pupils have developed a collection of natural products for children aged from three to six. Included in the collection are limpet shells, sheep's wool, pine cones, a bamboo roll, sea pebbles and an assortment of wooden discs, pillars and planks for building.
