Outdoor Parent + Child Groups
Who we are: An ad-hoc group of parents, carers, babies & children who believe it is important for children to spend quality time in nature and the great outdoors. Whatever the weather, they can play with each other and nature, at little or no cost to parents. Parents/carers can between them, organise stories and activities but always encouraging creativity with the children.
What we do: We could have different themes each week, based loosely on the children’s surroundings, such as wildflowers, leaves etc…all of this can be discussed between us, as we move forward.
