If we want our children to grow up to be kind and caring adults, we need to encourage them to nourish and nurture the world around them.
Join us as we explore & create - building an invaluable relationship with nature in a fun and engaging way.
School Holiday Nature Sessions
For children aged 18 months–6 years
Spend a morning outdoors during the school holidays, with nature-inspired creating, sensory play and plenty of time for unhurried exploration in the beautiful Bundaberg Botanic Gardens.
Our school holiday sessions combine hands-on nature creations with our much-loved sensory and messy play experiences. At every session, children create something special to take home — something that encourages a connection to nature and sparks wonder and curiosity about the world around them.
Each school holidays brings something different, with new nature-inspired creations and thoughtfully prepared play experiences for children to discover. Children are free to explore at their own pace, follow their curiosity, get their hands messy and simply enjoy being outdoors.
All sessions are thoughtfully facilitated by a passionate and qualified Early Childhood Teacher and mother of three.
