MUDDER EARTH

🍂🦉🎨A NEW autumn afternoon edition of our sellout Monday morning playdates. We're embracing and exploring the changing seasons for Forest School inspired, nature-based play, discovery & creativity.

Activities are tailored to age & stage for 1 to 7 year olds, and will include:

- Child led free play- like art-making, giant bubbles, mud kitchen play

- Adult supported ativities, such as scavenger hunts, crafting projects with clay, recycled, and natural materials, den building...

🌲We'll start out meeting at our basecamp between the playground and the Lake at South Norwood Lake & Grounds (SE19) and will move under sheltered trees, as needed.

🧥🥾PLEASE DRESS FOR BRITISH AUTUMN: waterproofs, layers, sturdy boots - wellies OK for Sept & early Oct. Add extra socks on cold days.

♻️☕️BRING A REUSABLE CUP FOR HOT DRINKS

🦇🔦BRING A TORCH FOR TWILIGHT PLAY & THE WALK HOME (from Oct)

🏠📖We're exploring nearby indoor-outdoor venue options to bring closing story (& optional hot choc) time inside from October, but we will be otherwise be outside (almost) whatever the weather. We go ahead in rain and only cancel if playing outside could be unsafe, e.g. in electrical storms or high winds,

👨‍👧‍👧This is a family playdate, rather than a drop off activity. An adult needs to remain present and responsible for children throughout. It is of course an option to team up to bring more than 1 child, which may particularly appeal to those with children aged 4-7

Basecamp is pushchair accessible. Please park pushchairs under the tree with a raincover on if there is any chance of showers

👶Baby siblings under 1 join for free. Slings helpful for some activities.
