Fri 13 Sep - Forest Friends

10am - 11.30am

Are you ready for an adventure? The friendly animals are hiding in Flag Fen’s forest and need you to build them a new den to keep them warm and cosy! Enjoy exploring the great outdoors and being creative using natural materials to make a leaf animal and nature mobile to decorate the forest. Have fun listening to stories about the friendly forest animals and enjoy decorating an animal mask for some exciting themed role play before completing your adventure with some messy play in the mud kitchen, sandpit and outdoor play area.

Fri 11 Oct - Witches, Wizards and Halloween

What hair raising treasures will you discover in Flag Fen’s forest as we enjoy a fun Halloween themed scavenger hunt? Enjoy lots of opportunities for sensory play outdoors including mixing up a witches brew in the mud kitchen, creating a boggart using clay and natural materials and some spider web stamping. Listen to the story of Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson around the fire pit then make your own broomstick to zoom around the forest.
