Filled with loose parts and possibilities, with mud and dust, nettles and sky, transcendent hands-on moments and skinned knees. Richard Louv

This is sooooo much fun! Grab some recipes and throw in a little nature. The children just love to create delicious variations of muddy ice creams and the language that occurs as a result is a bonus!!

Set up a minibeast hunting tray. No pretend bugs? Just print the log images from my website and hide those. I used bark chippings in the tray, they’re around £3 for a bag.
Resources can be downloaded separately, as a bundle or join the membership 🌿

Minibeast & bug resources have landed on the website!
We are currently learning all about bugs in my class so I really wanted to make this set. There’s an activity pack which has loads of easy nature themed activities, a log set with images and vocabulary or you can get them as a bundle with the bug spotter and magnifier. Members, they’re all ready and waiting for you on the website - just login and get them.
If you want the link, comment ‘bug’ and I’ll send it to you 🐝🐞🐜🕷️🪳🐛🪲

•SUMMER NATURE ACTIVITIES•
It doesn’t feel quite like Summer but it is the Summer term at school for us. Which is your favourite from my Summer nature collection? I love decorating a tree. Use masking tape turned the opposite way so that you don’t damage the bark of the tree and use fallen/damaged nature to decorate.

•BRANCHES AND BEADS•
This is a great activity for fine motor skills and hand eye coordination. You only need some thin branches and some beads (plus something to put the branches in, you could use a pot or ball of clay).

The dandelions are out in abundance. My new download puts them to good use (remember to leave plenty for the bees). It is full of nature activities, mud kitchen recipes, a magnifier to cut out, a lifecycle of a dandelion and images on logs for displaying or using in your activities.
