Weekly group for Parents/carers and toddlers aged 18 months - 5 years old
This is a warm, friendly and nurturing group inspired by the Forest School ethos of child lead exploration and learning. It is a special time to be in the woods with your child making new friends whist connecting to nature and having lots of fun.
We go on Nature walks, sing songs, learn about wildlife, the seasons, the weather and how to care for nature and each other. We make natural seasonal crafts and cook healthy snacks over the fire, play in the mud kitchen, go on adventures, forage, bug hunt, enjoy magical story telling, make music have lots of free play and use our imaginations! Phew!
Each session has a theme around an animal or something interesting happening in nature at that time, or what we discover on our walk. Activities are great for manual dexterity, coordination, strength, balance and confidence, crafts are for you to make with your child, but also a moment for you to create something simple (no experience necessary!) whist sitting by the fire and children play.
Quote from a mum " As soon as I arrive at woodland Playgroup in the woods I feel more relaxed, it is calming and the children can just play"
