Forest Playtime

18/05/2021

It occurred to me today how Mums in particular have so, so many things to think of every day, and even if you happen to be sitting in silence, your brain is LOUD!! Sometimes it’s manageable, sometimes it’s totally overwhelming.
For those who currently feel overwhelmed- you’re not alone. Sometimes it helps to know that. And if you can, don’t be ashamed to ask for help.
This motherhood gig is incredible, but gosh, it can also be hard.
Big love going to those that need it today ❤️

I need to do better at this!

“Let your children see you slow down… Read a book in a hammock, walk in the woods, sip coffee in the early hours of the morning, or write in a journal. Because when they grow up, they'll know how to slow down, too.”

NOVEMBER SESSIONS CANCELLED
Due to lockdown, the November Forest Time for Mums sessions are cancelled. I've emailed you if you were booked on. Hope to get started again as soon as it is safe to do so.

Pondering this at the moment...

NEW YEAR NEW SITE
Whilst its been fantastic to use the new My Little Explorers Forest School site at Toothill for our Forest Time for Mums sessions, it was always going to be a temporary location, as the site manager needs to focus on setting up the new Forest School kindergarten here from January. I'm already on the search for somewhere to new run sessions though, and will be visiting a potential new site next week. I'll keep you all posted.....

SESSION PLANS
So, I've been asked what we'll be doing at each of our upcoming Forest Time for Mums sessions. I don't always like to commit a long way ahead, as what we do can depend on who comes, the weather and what materials I can get hold of, but my guess now is that these are the crafts we'll be doing between now and Christmas:

Sat 7th November - whittle a mushroom or a mallet
Fri 13th November - make a wooden snail or a snowman
Fri 11th December - Christmas wreaths or stars

A bit of choice in each session for people to follow their own interests :-)
