About
This event is sold out! Thank you to everyone who has bought a ticket. If there is enough interest for a second session, I will offer one for ages 3-8 from 12.00-2.00pm on the same day. Please add your name to the waitlist on this page, or send me a message. Thank you.This event offers a range of Christmas themed STEM activities, encouraging problem solving and creativity. Children will unwind and connect to themselves, others, and the natural surroundings, with plenty of time for free play. We will meet in a beautiful lakeside setting in Edgewater, with abundant wildlife, shady trees, and breathtaking lake views. This is a drop off event operating from 9.30-11.30am and suitable for children aged 6-12 years. Please note parents are most welcome to stay if preferred.
'Nature is a warm sensory bath that can counterbalance the cold overwhelm of too much activity, information, or "stuff". Time in nature calms and focuses; for most children, it takes only a few minutes for them to begin to explore. Watch as they seek out places that feel particularly right to them, as they gather symbolic objects - leaves, sticks, bits of moss - that they discover. You can't manipulate nature, it must be delved into; it's a vibrant but neutral canvas onto which a child can pour their creativity' (Payne, 2019, p. 60).
