How Our RV Travels Inspired my Online Shop for Printable Wildlife Activities for Home Schoolers!
So it has been some time since Bill and I have posted. We enjoyed a busy yet peaceful summer at our home base in the Kootenays, gardening, kayaking, and working on projects.
We now find ourselves on Vancouver Island wintering in our RV and Bill attending a course he has been wanting to take doing fine furniture making.
I took up hobby photography some time ago, and it has quickly become a joy and passion of mine, spending time in nature capturing images and moments of the untamed beauty of Canada and its wildlife. With Bill in classes during the week and my days free, I find myself in nature most days of the week and have slowly amassed an amazing portfolio.
Having spent some time on the road in various places and RV parks, I was able to meet a variety of folks and families, some of them being families that live full-time on the road and homeschool their kids. Knowing they are always looking for lesson plans and activities for their kids, one morning I woke up and an idea was born. I felt compelled to transform my real-life wildlife photographs into scientifically accurate downloadable colouring sheets and educational bundles for kids' learning and fun rainy day activities. It’s a hands-on way to spark a creative wonder in the next generation, turning screen-free playtime into a passion for environmental stewardship.
I’m super excited to share that I have officially launched a new business creating RV-friendly homeschooling activities and printables! My goal is to make educational projects that don't require a ton of storage space or messy supplies.
Colouring and educational samples
"Curti Clicks Creations" literally manifested this past week from idea to reality. I have hundreds of real-life wildlife experiences and images collecting dust in computer files, just waiting to be shared and turned into useful tools, not just print wall art. By offering my product as digital downloads rather than physical products, I eliminate shipping emissions, packaging waste, and raw material consumption while promoting nature education.
I use my very own images as the base layout to transform my real-world wildlife encounters into scientifically accurate downloadable/printable colouring sheets and educational bundles. Each colouring page is created from my own original wildlife photography, digitally converted into clean line art with AI assistance, and hand-curated with educational facts that I learned along the way and in field study and observation.

My lifelong love for nature started as a child: with muddy boots, outdoor exploring, and endless curiosity. It has now become a passion for wildlife photography, and I believe fostering young stewardship isn't about handing over a heavy burden—it's about passing on a sense of wonder and empowering kids and teens to see themselves as active participants and protectors of the Earth by falling in love with it.
I hope you enjoy the wonders of nature as much as I do.
