Nature Play

Join us for some fun with your little one in nature.

Week 1 – 10 March: Lots of Leaves. Together, lets discover all the different ways we can use leaves.

Week 2 – 17 March: Grug the Grass Tree. Everyone loves Grug! We’ll be reading stories about this special character from Australian literature and learning all about the grass trees he came from.

Week 3 – 24 March: Eucalyptus Day. Come along to celebrate Eucalyptus Day with the Rangers at the Wildflower Garden and learn about these magnificent trees.

Week 4 – 31 March: The Little Seed. Plants are cleverer than you might think. We’ll learn about all the ways plants move their seeds around without taking a single step!

Our Nature Play programs offer weekly nature-themed activities, designed to develop curious minds and playful spirits. Sessions run from 10.00am – 11.30am.

They involve a fun morning of play-based investigation and discovery in nature led by our experienced Environmental Ranger.

Our 4-week pass costs $80 per child with one parent/carer admitted free of charge.

Benefits of Nature Play
Nature play significantly improves all aspects of early childhood development – physical, cognitive, social and emotional. Playing outdoors in nature grows resilience, self-confidence, initiative and gross-motor skills.
