Nature Play – Collect and Craft

Do you like collecting things? Let’s find some fun things in the bush we can collect to craft with.

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.

Activities cost $20 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.
