About your Instructor: Jen Toddie lives with her family on a wooded homestead in Ely and delights in the magic of making with children! Working with kids from ages 3-18, she has been an educator for 30 years. She has taught middle and high school social studies, social and emotional wellness, yoga, reading, writing, preschool, and Elementary Montessori. What excites her the most is witnessing the joy kids experience when they experiment with their creative spirits, whether it be through handwork, cooking in the mud kitchen, growing a garden, storytelling, spending uninterrupted time in nature, building relationships, or creating crafts that connect them more deeply to themselves, the natural world and their community. Jen loves wilderness travel, practicing reiki and making herbal medicine. She is thrilled to have the opportunity to share wonder with your children this summer at the Ely Folk School!
