Little Bumbles Forest School

24/07/2026

Thursday 17th September
6pm

For anyone mothering at ANY age or stage, from 18yrs - 108yrs.

This 2hr session will provide a playful space for you to explore your identify and sense of self creatively with no pressure.

Guided by Claire a children’s play therapist in training, this isn’t a craft session, it’s not about the end result, but an opportunity to reflect on becoming, growing into and confirming your mothering role no matter where you are on your journey.

MATRESCENCE acknowledges the light and shadow of the journey you are on.

There is no set product to take home, but the space and materials to gently explore the changes you’ve been through on your mothering journey.

You will be guided through a creative task and have opportunity to reflect on the deeper Jungian meaning behind your art work and choices during the evening.

Please bring a cushion for floor sitting and wear relaxed, comfortable clothes. Tell a friend or someone who has mothered you.

Bring a journal/notebook.

(We’re indoors for this first session).

Feel like I’m taking a bit of a risk here… but any interest in this type of creative support for the hardworking mamas? I’m just testing the water because lots of you tell me you’d love this.

Give it a like or tag a friend if so.

Maybe I need to change the word ‘mothers’ in the graphic too?

Longer, warmer days change more than just the weather. Each change of season, children have to adapt.

Have you noticed your children feeling a little more emotional, energetic, dysregulated, or maybe struggling with sleep? You’re not imagining it.

As the world tilts on its axis, days get longer and warmer, our bodies adjust — and children often feel these shifts deeply. More daylight can affect melatonin (sleep hormones), later evenings can disrupt routines, and all the extra stimulation, heat, excitement, and schedule changes can make emotions feel bigger.

And honestly? Us adults feel it too. We may feel more tired, overstimulated, restless, or “off” without always connecting it to the season.

This is your gentle reminder: regulation can wobble during change of season. More patience, earlier wind-downs, extra snacks, hydration, quiet moments, and lowered expectations can go a long way.

Children aren’t giving us a hard time — often, they’re having a hard time adjusting.

Summer shifts us all. ☀️💛

👦🏻PLAY

Little Bumbles is a beautiful introduction to Forest Schooling and provides opportunities for play on a big scale in a natural, wild environment. It is ideal for children who are active and inquisitive or who find indoor groups over stimulating because of noise or sensitivities. Outdoors we have lots of space to choose how to interact with others in a social setting.

The idea of forest school, is that it provides connection to nature in a playful, child centred way. Using age appropriate tools and your infants natural curiosity, it builds confidence and gentle resilience within their window of tolerance.

We are completely child led, attachment focussed and participants usually tell us they leave feeling refreshed and regulated after a busy week, ready for the weekend!
