Five invitations. Endless possibilities.
Each one opens up a different way to imagine, create and connect, using simple materials you’ll mostly already have around you.
A grown up guide
Simple guidance to help you create the conditions for wonder — without needing to lead the way.
A reusable keepsake bag
A special place to collect little treasures, keep your collection together and return to whenever wonder calls.
There is no right way to create and no perfect outcome. Each invitation simply offers a place to begin.
Choose an invitation
Gather what you need
Follow their imagination
The Humble Leaf is designed for children aged 3+. The invitations are intentionally open-ended, so they can unfold very differently depending on a child’s age, interests and imagination.
No. The Humble Leaf begins with what you already have. Most invitations use leaves alongside simple art materials and everyday items you’re likely to have at home. Part of the magic is discovering just how much can come from very little.
Not at all. We’ve created the starting point for you. The Grown-Up Guide offers simple guidance, while the invitations give children plenty of room to take the experience in their own direction.
There’s no set time. An invitation might hold a child’s attention for twenty minutes or become something they return to over several days. The idea is to follow their curiosity rather than work towards a finished result.
Absolutely. The invitation cards are designed to be returned to again and again. Different leaves, materials, places and ideas can lead to completely different creations each time.
The collection includes five invitation cards, a Grown-Up Guide and a reusable keepsake bag for collecting treasures and keeping your collection together. You’ll gather the leaves and simple materials used for each invitation yourself — because noticing and collecting what’s already around you is part of the experience.
It’s a thoughtful alternative to another toy — particularly for curious, creative children and grown-ups who would love a little inspiration for spending meaningful time together.
