A Touch of the Wild

Week one of Woodland Adventure Club was WILD! 🌿

From woodland teamwork and bubbling potions to team cooking and a magical butterfly encounter, our adventurers have been busy exploring, creating, experimenting and making new friends in the woods. 🦋🔥🧪

The best part? There are still spaces available over the coming weeks!

Our Woodland Adventure Club gives children the freedom to enjoy real outdoor adventures, build confidence and learn new skills, all while having heaps of fun in our beautiful Devon woodland.

📅 Spaces are limited, so book soon to secure your child’s place.

Which activity would your child head for first: cooking, potion making or wildlife spotting? Tell us below! 👇

🎃 It’s back… and we couldn’t be more excited! 🍂

There is something so special about Halloween in the woods.

Crunching through fallen leaves, toasting marshmallows around the campfire, making broomsticks from natural materials and watching little imaginations run wild.

We’re delighted to announce that our Spooky Woodland Festival returns on Saturday 24th October, and tickets are now on sale!

Join us for a morning of family fun, including:

🍎 Apple bobbing
🧹 Broomstick crafting
🔥 Marshmallow toasting
📖 Spooky campfire stories
🎃 Halloween activities throughout the woodland
👻 Plenty of surprises along the way

Fancy dress is always encouraged, and we can’t wait to see all the witches, skeletons, pumpkins and woodland creatures arrive!

Our Halloween events have become a favourite for so many local families, and places fill every year.

🎟️ If you’d like to join us this October, we’d recommend booking early.

Who will we be seeing around the campfire? 🍂🎃

The best childhood memories are often the messiest ones…🍫💦🌿

A couple of weeks ago, our Wild Tots were busy mixing and cooking chocolate brownies, creating their very own pet log dogs, and splashing about with water to stay cool in the woodland sunshine.

There were wonderful imaginations and plenty of happy, chocolate covered hands and faces exactly the kind of playful learning we love to see.

Through simple outdoor adventures like these, little ones build confidence, practise new skills and enjoy precious time connecting with nature.

Which activity would your little explorer have chosen first, brownies, log dogs or water play? Tell us below! 👇

💚 A little look back at one of our recent Wild Tots sessions…

Some of the best childhood memories aren’t planned. They’re discovered.

🫐 Wandering through the woods, carefully foraging for wild bilberries.

🥞 Mixing and cooking pancakes together over the fire before adding the berries we’d found ourselves.

🌸 Creating magical potions with flower petals and water, stirring, pouring and imagining.

These moments might seem simple, but they’re the ones children remember. The taste of warm pancakes cooked outdoors. Purple fingers from freshly picked bilberries. The excitement of finding treasures in the forest.

This is more than a toddler group.

It’s a childhood filled with wonder, connection and memories that last long after the muddy boots have been taken off. 💚🌿

✨ Save this post if you believe childhood should be filled with adventures like these, and share it with someone who’d love Wild Tots.

A little look back at our previous Wild Tots session…

What a fantastic morning we had in the woods, making the most of the sunshine while staying cool under the trees! ☀️🌳

Our little adventurers enjoyed:
🥞 Cooking delicious Welsh cakes over the fire
🐝 Creating pine cone bees on sticks to take home
💦 Cooling off with lots of water play, including plenty of giggles under our forest shower!
📚 Sharing stories together in the shade of the trees

It’s amazing how much joy can be found in simple moments outdoors, exploring, creating, playing and making memories together. 💚

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We can’t wait to see you for more woodland adventures!

Have you joined us at Wild Tots yet? We’d love to welcome you and your little explorer to a future session. 🌿
