My Little Garden Journey 🌱

This activity sheet was designed for Red Table Tutoring, a hands-on learning school based in Gaborone, Botswana, that uses gardening as a core part of their curriculum.

The brief was simple but meaningful: take their real gardening activity and turn it into something Montessori-friendly for primary children.

Here's the thinking behind the design:

1) Draw your plant — observation through creation. Children record what they actually see, not what they're told to draw.

2) Did you water your plant today? — A simple yes/no interaction using plant visuals instead of words, making it accessible for pre-readers.

3) What do you notice today? — Encouraging curiosity and independent thinking, the heart of Montessori learning.

4) Count the leaves — Numeracy woven naturally into the activity, never forced.

Every element was designed around Red Table Tutoring's colours and visual identity, keeping it on-brand while making it feel warm, playful and age-appropriate.

This is what I love about instructional design, when learning feels like play, children don't even realise they're learning.

First Impressions: Brand's Make-or-Break Moment Kevin Stirtz said, "Every contact we have with a customer influences whether or not they'll come back." Guess what? It's 100% true. This is one quote I love so much. When working on a brand’s strategy, we always develop customer touchpoints, those moments where people first get to know your business. It could be through social media posts, a recommendation from a friend, billboards, ads, or your website. These first touchpoints matter a lot. Many starting businesses overlook them, not realizing how much branding plays a role here. It’s often one of the biggest decision-making stages for customers. If the first contact feels off or rude, most people (including me) won’t go further. That’s why first impressions are so important to me. I personally take time to respond to every comment and reply across my socials, because those are often people’s first contact with my brand. Branding lays the foundation for these moments. While marketing and responses to enquiries are important, consistent branding and messaging ensure your brand feels the same across every touchpoint. It takes multiple interactions before someone decides to buy, and inconsistent branding can cause you to lose them before that point. At Donatus, we dive deep into your business to shape first impressions and perceptions exactly the way you want, using design as the tool. Want to work with us?
