Fun in nature!
This special program aims to help children grow and develop with and in nature. Children will climb, dig, explore, build, engage their senses, discover and play!
Seedlings Nature School provides a captivating combination of nature-based activities, games and stories for children aged 2.5 – 5 years.
Participation in nature play has the ability to enhance children’s curiosity and creativity, boost self-esteem and improve resilience, allowing them to learn, make decisions and develop understanding in a natural, safe environment. Time in nature is a fun, informative and wonderful investment in your child’s future.
- Children must be accompanied by an adult carer.
- Babies not participating in the program may attend free of charge with their ticket-holding sibling.
- This program runs in all weather so don’t forget to pack your gumboots, rain jacket and your hat.
