Here is a short video of nursery children joining in with a group fire where I introduce you to the magic of fire and children to fire steels, charred cloth and cooking damper bread.
This is the same principle as using the cotton wool, however allow the child and the practitioner to have a little more time and to bring all the lit charred cloths to the centre bundle to create a group fire.
Their little hands require an adult to support them to have enough strength and fine motor skills to create the spark. You can choose 1 or more children to spark a piece of charred cloth (that is placed on the shell, secured by a small stick), then carefully place the charred cloth into the nest to co-create the central fire.
With very young children you may begin with a pretend fire, followed by a candle in a lantern before moving to an open fire. You could put a candle in a metal bowl and carefully feel the heat on the bowl. Our nature pedagogy approach is not trying to get to a specific outcome, rather take time to be with the process of discovery!
