Inspiring the minds of children through nature...  
CNI Wonder Mobile

In 2000, The Children's Nature Institute expanded its successful nature walk program for kids! The CNI Wonder Mobile (pictured on the right) visits classrooms to increase the impact of science lessons learned in the classroom and on the trail. The CNI Naturalist brings our bird, mammal and insect units to life using a wide variety of animal specimens. The hands-on activities are engaging and educational!

Visits are free for schools participating in our Outreach program.

Experts in the fields of education and natural sciences designed the CNI Wonder Mobile curriculum for kids from pre-K to second grade. Kids learn about plants, animals, the ecosystem and why everything in nature is important! An environmental educator and CNI docents lead hands-on classroom activities that are fun, engaging, and educational!

To schedule a CNI Wonder Mobile visit for your school, please contact our Program Coordinator at (310) 860-9484 or email .

Quotes from those served by the Wonder Mobile:
    “I really respect the Wonder Mobile for what they bring to schools and for taking students into nature. It was great to see our kids, especially the youngest groups, being exposed to animals and sounds they have never known.”

    “The same day students were on the playground looking at the birds they saw and identifying what they knew…It was the best presentation that my students have participated in. I can’t thank you enough. We hope to have you back next year if possible.”

    “Thank you so much! [The Wonder Mobile Workshop] surpassed all expectations [and is] so valuable for inner-city kids.
