I’m Eti Bahar, an art educator, illustrator and learning experience designer inspired by nature, animals and the many ways children make sense of the world.

I believe children learn through more than words and instructions. They learn when they can see, make, move, imagine, explore and express ideas in their own ways. That’s why I bring together art, storytelling, nature and hands-on exploration to create meaningful learning experiences.

Why Nature Matters to Me

Nature and animals have always been my greatest teachers. They inspire curiosity, encourage observation and help children develop empathy, care and a deeper connection to the world around them.

My aim is to create learning experiences that give children more than one way to participate, create and express what they know.

Through my programs, educational resources and Paw Planet Academy, I am developing creative ways for children to learn about nature, animals and the world around them.
