Evergreen Explorers Forest School

🌍💚 World Environment Day 2026 💚🌍

We had a wonderful morning at Forest School celebrating World Environment Day!

The children enjoyed painting their own wooden plant pots before planting a basil seed to take home and nurture as it grows. 🌱

We explored sensory play with natural playdough, helped rescue ocean animals from plastic waste, and shared stories about recycling and caring for our environment. ♻️🐢🐠

To finish our morning, we gathered around the campfire to cook delicious waffles and croissants on a stick. 🔥🧇🥐

A fantastic morning of learning, creativity, and outdoor adventure while discovering how we can all help protect our planet for the future. 🌎✨

This morning we had a change of forest and held our Friday toddler session at Little Muddy Me 🌿

The toddlers thoroughly enjoyed exploring the space, playing in a different mud kitchen, and climbing different trees. This week’s theme was minibeasts, and the children had lots of opportunities for hands-on learning and fun 🐞🕷️

They painted their own minibeasts to take home, made clay spiders, learnt how to gently dig for minibeasts using paint brushes so we don’t harm them, and rescued pretend minibeasts from the ice!

Everyone also enjoyed cooking a hot dog on a stick over the campfire 🔥 before we finished the session with some minibeast songs and a reading of The Very Hungry Caterpillar 🐛📚

A lovely morning full of exploration, creativity, and outdoor fun!

I haven’t added any audio to this week’s reel, because the birds sounded too beautiful not to share 🕊️🎶

Today we enjoyed celebrating World Bee Day in the beautiful sunshine! 🐝☀️

The toddlers enjoyed making pretend honey, helping the bees fly, and playing in the forest. We ended the session gathered around the campfire for honey porridge and the story ‘Betsy Buglove Saves the Bees’. 🍯🔥📚

🌿✨ Kids Get Crafty and Evergreen Explorers Forest School held their first weekend collaboration at Little Muddy Me! ✨🌿
We celebrated Nature in Spring with a wonderful morning of woodland adventures, beautiful spring crafts, and campfire cooking. The woodland was filled with creativity as everyone enjoyed making nature-inspired crafts, toasting marshmallows, and cooking cheesy ‘spring’ pasta over the fire 🔥🍃
We had such a lovely time together and are already looking forward to our next collaboration! 💚

We absolutely loved receiving this feedback from a parent after one of our Back to Nature birthday parties 🌿🔥⚡️

For Ollie’s special Pokémon-themed celebration, the children spent the morning immersed in nature - making clay Pokéballs, building dens to protect them, and finishing the adventure around the campfire cooking hot dogs and s’mores together 🪵🍫🌭

“Thank you so much for hosting us such a fantastic 6th birthday party for Ollie today. The parents all loved it as much as the children and it was so lovely watching them all get stuck in and work collaboratively together. All the parents were commenting on what a great unique idea it was for a party, and made a nice change from a trampoline park!

Thank you so much for incorporating Ollie’s interest in Pokémon too - it made the party feel really personal. We loved the thoughtful little touches like the Pokémon plates and cups to take home too.

All of the activities were well planned and organised and there was enough time for each element.”

Creating personalised outdoor adventures full of creativity, teamwork and campfire magic is exactly what our Back to Nature parties are all about 💚

Happy 6th Birthday again, Ollie! 🍃✨

What a lovely morning spent pond dipping at the beautiful nature pond at Braywick Nature Reserve 🌿💧
We discovered all sorts of fascinating pond creatures, including tadpoles, pond snails, damselfly nymphs, and water boatmen. The children loved exploring the pond and learning more about the wildlife living beneath the surface 🐸🐌
To finish the session, we gathered around the campfire to enjoy hot dogs and s’mores together - the perfect ending to a fun outdoor adventure 🔥🌭

Another lovely piece of feedback from one of our recent woodland birthday parties ✨
“My daughter said it was the best party ever 10 seconds after arriving, and again when she was leaving! It was so lovely to see the kids being kids, climbing trees, exploring and fully immersing themselves in all the activities from potion making to building fairy houses with natural materials. Andrea and Charlotte had everything so beautifully organised and gently guided everyone through the party making it all feel really relaxed and stress free. Thank you again for a wonderful party!”

We had such a wonderful time at the Cox Green Village Fayre today! 🌿✨
The children loved creating beautiful clay sculptures decorated with evergreen leaves and rose petals, while we enjoyed chatting with families about our party packages and Forest School sessions. It was lovely to meet so many new faces and share a little of what we do.
