Happy Outdoor Classroom Day 🌳
Thank you to everyone who uses my resources and website to inspire their outdoor learning and play 🍃
Outdoor Classroom Day is a global campaign to get children exploring and learning in the outdoors. Around 30% of children in the UK don’t spend time outdoors everyday and outdoor play has plummeted by 71% in just one generation!
Let’s change that and get outdoors as much as possible ☀️ 🌧️ 🌳

The easiest craft to set up for World Bee Day 🐝
You just need pinecones, wool/string and paper.
The children can wrap the wool around the pine cones, working on their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. The pine cones turn into the sweetest bees that can be hung up or played with 🐝
Comment ‘bee activities’ if you’d like the resource which includes this and other nature inspired bee activities.
World Bee Day is on Wednesday 20th May 🐝
