Nature Tots
Nature Tots is EXCITING, FUN and MUDDY! We engage children in hands-on outdoor activities themed around wildlife, inspiring a lifelong love of nature and play.
In 2019 we are running Nature Tots at 3 new locations!
- Tuesdays - Woodgate Valley Country Park, Bartley Green
- Wednesdays and Fridays - MAC, Cannon Hill Park
- Fridays - Centre of the Earth, Winson Green
. Growing up with fun experiences in local wild spaces can help inspire a love of nature that lasts a lifetime. Nature Tots also encourages independent learning and team working - helping to boost communication skills, problem solving, physical development and creativity.
This is child-lead learning and the role of the accompanying adult is to assist the Tots in doing as much of the activities themselves as possible. We go outside come rain or shine, so always dress for the weather and be prepared to get wet and muddy!
