Why Adventures
YuuMii Adventures are based on experiential education, using children’s instinctual curiosity, imagination and endless artistic ability. Through YuuMii Adventures, adults can explore with young children, to discover nature together and develop respect and understanding of everything from community to the seasons and the 5 senses.
YuuMii has identified several key areas that will enhance these social, emotional, critical thinking and artistic competencies in children. YuuMii created Adventures around each of these, available with ease to the parent or caregiver.
