A summary
Join us in the at The Wolseley Centre for a special themed Wildfamilies. We'll be using scavenger hunts, trails and ID guides to find and learn about wildflowers. We will also try out sweep netting looking for insects and use our senses to explore the area or get crafty making a flower crown. We will also have our Wildplay equipment out so you can swing in a hammock, build a den to or make a mud pie in the mud kitchen! There is something for everyone. The sessions follow the Forest School ethos of child-led exploration and play. Want to get the children outdoors this holiday? Why not come along and try a new adventure with Staffordshire Wildlife Trust. These two hour long activities give you and your children the chance to explore the great outdoors, with our Wildchild Team at hand to help you along the way. All our activities take place outdoors therefore please dress for the weather.
