The idea for ‘ forest Fun’ grew out of a love of nature, and long experience of helping children learn more about the natural world.
We felt there was a real need for an activity for younger children that encouraged them to get outdoors, get active and explore nature.
The sessions provides children with freedom, space and a beautiful natural environment in which they can run, swing, get muddy, climb, be creative, acquire a natural curiosity and hands-on understanding of the natural world, make dens, giggle, sing songs , play and explore, listen to the wind in the trees. We even cook on fires sometimes. Every session we discover and learn something new through the ever changing seasons. This is the start of their journey in developing strong physical, social and language skills.
The Forest Fun sessions, which run from Burrator Discovery Centre on the first Wednesday of the month during term time, from 9.30am to 11.30 am are led by Early Years/ Forest School practitioners and are for children up to the age of 4 with their Mum, Dad, or whoever normally, looks after them.
We will be holding extra sessions over the summer holiday for families with primary aged children as well! For more information please contact burratorforestfun@gmail.com or 07845597997
