What do we mean by pop-up play?

Well, take a look at some photos from today:
- we shared stories
- we played bean bag toss
- we shopped for potion ingredients
- we cooked up a feast
- we created coffee filter flowers
- we painted sunflowers
- we explored foliage in water

Most importantly it gave us a reason to not just get out of the house but get outside.

It was good to be back doing pop-ups today, it was even worth getting absolutely drenched packing away after the second session.

We still have space on some summer sessions and we will be releasing Autumn term dates soon 🀩

Sadly, Facebook have changed the rules so we aren't able to add a direct link to the pop ups without paying but check out our website for all the most up to date dates and locations!

We all human right?!

Natalie today sent out our newsletter a day early thinking it was Wednesday (sorry if that confused you!)

Emily is feeling nervous about restarting pop-ups tomorrow after taking a break

Rosie's inner child LOVES a chance to have a swing on a swing

Evergreen Exploring is made up of three people who laugh, cry, make mistakes and are 100% human.

Gardening is a great way to spend some time together with your little one. It's fun, it's educational and it doesn't matter if you don't know what you are doing because you can investigate together!

Have you grown anything this year? 🌱πŸͺπŸŒ»

We had a break from social media (aside from the odd story update) as we really believe it's important to put technology away from time to time and really focus on the people around us.

Feeling recharged from a break, we now have three weeks of summer specials and we would love to see you there!

All sessions start at 10am, except on the 19th August we added a session at 11:15 as the earlier one has sold out.

What a great start to the summer!

This morning a range of ages gathered in the beautiful garden of Acomb Methodist Church. There is no photographic evidence of the fun (we are a bit rubbish at that) but memories were made.

We hatched frozen eggs, we spotted birds in the scavenger hunt, we created beautiful nests and decorated birds to sit in then, we sang, we made the parachute fly, we smiled and we connected.

Come join us at a future date πŸ‘‡πŸΎ

It will be a different theme but the same fun!

The holidays don't have to be full of big days out. Small moments of connection, even just walking down the street can be just as magical.

We are going to be emailing our newsletter list simple ideas to get you outside each week. If you aren't signed up yet (it's totally free!) then can do so here

Here's why you should join us this summer:

✨ It's a reason to get outside and be with others (both factors will make you feel better!)

✨ Your little one will be busy and you don't need to think of any ideas, set anything up, or even clear away!

✨ Older siblings can book on too. Once you start school you don't get offered opportunities to play in the same way and you know what? They still LOVE it!

✨ It can inspire further play - after playing with the nature shop at a session this morning a little one was going straight home to set up a shop in their garden

Full list of sessions:

Wed 22 July, Acomb

Wed 19 August, Acomb

Thursday 20th August, Bishopthorpe

Friday 21st August, Tockwith

Wed 26th August, Acomb

Friday 28th August, Haxby

Sessions are filling up so book your spot today and know you're in for a fun morning

See you there 🀩

It's a great excuse! Here's why πŸ‘‡πŸΎ

Not only are you NOT making the house messier (especially if snacking outside is involved!) but you are encouraging your little one to:

- move their body and work on gross motor skills
- ooo they pick up a stick, fine motor skills in action
- you tune into the birds singing, that's your early phonics
- feel the sunshine on your face, vitamin D incoming
- enhance their vocabulary by chatting about everything you see
- build their imaginative play as sticks become wands and tree stumps become pirate ships...

It's ok to leave the chores behind and go and play, it really is! Who knows, maybe after some quality time connecting together, they may sleep better (this is not guaranteed, ours never slept 🀣) and then you can get the chores done more easily...

We have something exciting to share tomorrow to help you get through the summer with your under-five.

πŸ‘€ Watch this space!

A warm hello to those of you who are new here. It's quite hard to describe three people and what they are all about in a few words but we gave it a go.

Basically we try to be nice people and encourage you to get outside!!

Those of you who know us, what did we miss?

We hope you are enjoying the slightly less hot weather!
