NATURE EXPLORERS FOREST SCHOOL - WEDNESDAY

Join us in term 2 for our Nature Explorers Forest School program (10 weeks) in the beautiful and tranquil settings of the Noosa Botanic Gardens, on Gubbi Gubbi Country.

This program is specifically designed for children aged 3.5 years+ who want something slightly more challenging and learning focused. Following our Growing with Nature program, each month we explore a different theme, based on what is happening in the natural world around us. See below for more details.

Some activities include:

• Bush walk learning about the local fauna and flora

• Learn about Indigenous culture and practices

• Foraging for edible seeds and fruits and bush tucker

• Building cubbies and shelters

• Nature connection games

• Sewing, finger knitting, felting

• Crafting and making art with natural and eco-friendly materials - clay, earth pigments, watercolours, felt, wool, beeswax

• Ecological oral storytelling

  
  

All our programs are facilitated by fully qualified and experienced forest school & therapeutic nature play mentors. Parents are required to be on site and are responsible for their children at all times. Siblings under 18 months are welcome to tag along for free.
