Come and join our Curious Kids Summer Adventures this summer holiday. For 3-6 year olds and their carers.

All kids are curious and ask amazing questions as they discover the world around them. Curious Kids Adventures use play, arts and crafts, experiments and role play to explore the answers to their questions.
Each Adventure explores a new question.

You can book here: https://bookwhen.com/curiouskids

Or contact Sophie to find out more: [email protected]
Thank you so much for inviting me to join you on Friday. I will be bring our Curious Kids Sensory Garden full of mini beasts to explore.
After a Curious Kids Adventure a mum told us that their Adventure has given her "inspiration for different activities to do at home". This gave us the idea of sharing some of our activities so that you and your Curious Kids can do them at home for free!

So....we are launching Curious Kids At Home! On the 1st of the month, we will share an activity from one of our Curious Kids Adventures for you to try at home.

They will be posted on our page Curious Kids and it starts today with Make a Worm that Grows! (this is not an April fool's joke, we promise!)

Fun for all ages!

Follow Curious Kids on Facebook for future Curious Kids At Home activities.
Thank you for having me this morning Horsley Baby and Toddler Group. What a beautiful morning and setting to have our Curious Kids Sensory pond out. If anyone would like to find out more about our Adventures, please contact Curious Kids or [email protected].
I have been kindly invited to come to your playgroup session tomorrow. I will bringing our Curious Kids Sensory Pond where we can explore 'How Do Frogs Grow' and chat to a few parents/carers about our upcoming Curious Kids Adventures for 3-5 year olds. Curious Kids

Whilst I am not be delivering Curious Kids Adventures until next term, there is lots of exciting activity going on being the scenes! Our curriculum is finalised for next term and we have some amazing questions (all asked by children) to answer.
Here is a sneak preview of a few of the crafts my own curious kids and I have been testing out for the following Curious Kids Adventures:

"How fast can Cheetahs run?"
"How are clouds made?"
"How do mirrors work?"

If you have children in Y2 and 3 in Brimscombe C Of E Primary School or Nailsworth Primary or Y2 in Beaudesert Park School remember to sign your children up to our Curious Kids after school clubs!

10/08/2023

My own curious kids and I visited Coventry Transport Museum a couple of days ago where I took this photo as it show the speed of a Cheetah, which is one of the amazing questions I have been asked recently by a curious kid.
One of our Curious Kids Adventures next term will explore "How fast are Cheetahs?" and look into how Cheetahs are adapted to reach such speeds. I hope you can all join me!
Keep following Curious Kids on FB and IG for when the date is released.

"That was fantastic, thank you". Curious kid, age 4 as he left his Saturday Curious Kids Adventure. 😊

Thank you to everyone who joined me this morning at our Curious Kids Adventure. It was so lovely to have such a mix of curious kids from different stages of my own Curious Kids journey. We had curious kids from our after school clubs, who are regular's to our Saturday Adventures, from the home ed group I visit, those who can't join in term time and I haven't seen since last summer, some from back in my early development days and some new faces too 😊. It was wonderful to see you all. Thank you for all your support.

Here's me: ready for the summer......come on Sun!

I love seeing children's creativity and how they can turn my simple instructions into something I had never imagined! Spot the difference between my 'desert on a plate' and my 6 year olds. This is why I always involve my own curious kids in content development. They so often improve my ideas!

Yesterday's R&D day was all about spiders and answering an amazing question from a Curious Kids regular "Why don't spiders stick to their web?". The whole family came up with suggestions for this great activity! After testing everyone's ideas, here is the winner! I hope you can come along next term so it all makes sense!!!

That is a Curious Kids wrap to the term. Thank you so much to everyone who has joined me on a Curious Kids Adventure. We have had fun and learnt lots along the way!
Other than 1 Adventure in August, I am taking a little break from delivering Curious Kids over the summer. However, my own 2 curious kids and I are in research and development mode developing all new sessions for next year! As always, Curious Kids is child led and answers the questions children ask. So, if your curious kid has a science question they would like answering next term, please share in the comments.
I will still be checking emails and socials, so stay in touch. I just may be a little slower than usual.
Have a wonderful Summer everyone. πŸ˜€
