Crafting for a Greener World
Have you ever hiked in the beautiful natural areas in London or perhaps Dorchester, feeling more relaxed, more inspired, more connected to our planet? People work every year to preserve these spaces for our souls' enjoyment, for our kids to grow up with. Let's give what we can to help keep these spaces beautiful - for us, and for and the animals that live there. Every one of our supported organizations accepts direct donations — and every dollar goes toward protecting the forests, wetlands, and rivers that make Southwestern Ontario so special. Our contributions matter.
From the Craft Table to the Forest Floor
At CleverCrafts, we aim to teach kids that creativity doesn't require buying new things — that beauty and ingenuity can come from what is already available to us in our environment. That same philosophy extends to how we run our business.
The forests, wetlands, and rivers of Southwestern Ontario are not just beautiful — they're the living classrooms that inspire everything we do. The textures, colours, and materials of the natural world are the foundation of our curriculum.
This is why a portion of our earnings is donated to local organizations working to protect and preserve these irreplaceable natural areas — for our children and for us to enjoy right here, in the London area.
Reduce & Reuse
Almost all our materials are recycled or community-donated. We model sustainability in every single class.
Community First
Our materials come from the London-area community, and our giving goes back to it — protecting the natural spaces we all share.
Local Impact
To change the world, we need to begin right here, at home. A small ripple bringing joy and meaning, helping recycle and reuse and conserve our own natural areas, will turn into a big ripple with time.
