🐛☀️🌳 Bugs, bugs, bugs! 🌳☀️🐛
Another beautiful week in the forest! The sun shone and the bugs came out to play. We found grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, butterflies, beetles and spiders, all living in the long grass 💚
Plus a fab party with one of my fave themes - Minecraft! We scavenged, we built, we “mined”, crafted and brewed, and of course cooked on a fire 🔥 The birthday boy’s uncle made a superb chest too, which contained the party bags!
We had some new faces join us for Tree Tots, taking advantage of the additional PAYG spaces we are offering this term too, which was really lovely. We have a few PAYG tickets available for the next 2 weeks if you’d like to come and join us ~ link 🔗 ⬆️ or http://thelittleboxoffice.co.uk/muddyeducation/

💚 Nature weaving with a year 1 class on their school trip yesterday. They did a fabulous job! This was a tricky one and whist some children found it frustrating at first, we used resilience and perseverance to complete the task 💪 They we’re all very happy with the results and feeling super proud of their achievement 💚

Making Rainbows 🌈 and a Teddy Bears’ Picnic 🧺
Little round up of the week just gone. We’ve been focusing on spring weather 🌦️ and rainbows this week, embracing the changeable conditions from warm sunshine to hiding from hailstones (this was the most fun!) and exploring light, colour and rainbows too!
Tues: Nursery hunted for colours as we walked to the forest, then enjoyed lots of colour play, including colour mixing with paint and water. The water sprayers were out and we experimented with making rainbows in patches of sun ☀️
Home Ed also made rainbows with water sprayers and hunted the forest for colours, but with the added excitement of a hailstorm! We collected hailstones, compared sizes, felt how cold they were and watched them melt in our hands. Home Ed experimented with colour, making “Newton’s discs” spinners, using palm drills to drill holes in wood cookies, finding sticks to fit in the centre and painting with primary and secondary colours 🎨
Thurs & Fri: All of our Tree Tots groups enjoyed the story “Wow! Said the Owl” 🦉 and enjoyed hunting for colours in the forest. A game of “twit twoo” hide and seek for some groups too. Using our senses to look, listen and touch as we searched. Lots of play exploring colour and more rainbow spinner making for our 3-4s.
Saturday: A Teddy Bears’ picnic birthday party for a special little girl 💚 We hunted for the missing bears so they could join Edward at the spring picnic, we gathers items from the forest to make the bears a picnic and marvelled at their terrible table manners 🤣 We then went to play in the mud kitchen, cafe and sand, making more delicious food for the bears. The hammocks were very popular too! Finished off with a forest picnic with our bears and of course the classic caterpillar birthday cake! 🎂
A lovely week back to start off our summer term, enjoying everything the forest has to offer this time of year 💚 Looking forward to welcoming our first

🐰 Our first Easter Egg Hunt is THIS WEEKEND!
Can you guess what the theme for the Easter Egg Trail is this year? In the past we’ve had pattern matching, footprints and animals, baby and adult animals and animals that emerge in spring… So what is it this year?
At Muddy Education, you don’t just get Muddy! We aim to educate too. Our activities, trails and crafts all have an educational element to them, so children can learn about the world around them, whilst enjoying spending time out in nature. Even grown ups often learn something too!
Why not come along for an afternoon of exploration and fun in the forest? Tickets are one sale now! This is the last batch for this weekend so once they’re gone they’re gone..

Yesterday was a muddy one, but what fun we had! So much exploring, learning and fun packed into one day. Even a surprise visit from “Specs” the spectacled owl 🦉, which was incredibly fortunate as our focus was birds, nests and nesting behaviour! @icarusfalconryholdenby

Ok I’ll admit, it’s been a soggy and chilly return to the forest this week 🙈 Big love to all who still came to play, squelch, slide and jump in the mud, make potions, mix colours, squish play dough, jump in puddles and of course check to see which trees are awake 👀🌳💚
This is a short term due to the timing of Easter - but there’s still time to come and join us. We have a space in Home Ed on Tuesdays and spaces available on Thursdays and Fridays for preschoolers…
Why not pop us a message and come and join the muddy tribe 🌱

🫧🧹🧽 We’ve been spring cleaning, sorting, organising, planting, re-building, sanding, sealing, painting and varnishing our way through half term. There are never enough hours to complete the list… and the weather has not helped with getting things done in the forest! But we’ve been busy getting ready for the spring and summer terms 🌱
Around the education centre we are continuing to develop the outdoor space so that we have an inviting picnic area for our school groups to have their lunch in the nicer weather. We’re putting in some seating, pallet tables and planting up with wild flowers for the bees 🐝 In addition to being a picnic area, it will also give us an improved outdoor space to use should the weather not allow us to go to the forest. Really looking forward to sharing more pics as this area starts to match my vision 🙈… just got to move that mountain of wood chip! 😅

Dragons 🐉 today and we brought the nature indoors… sometimes it’s just too cold and wet for outdoor play for our littlest ones. Luckily we have a beautiful indoor space with heating and cosy spaces to play with lots of natural materials.
We have one more week of this block and then it’s back to the forest for our spring sessions after a week’s break 🌸🌱🌺
Why not come and join us… we offer a FREE TRIAL session so what have you got to lose?
Get in touch via [email protected] to book your trial session…
See you in the woods 💚

❄️✨❄️✨Winter Term…✨❄️✨❄️
Did you know that we still run through the winter? We know how important it is for outdoor play to continue in all weathers, but we also know that there is only so long that little people (and their grown ups!) can play outside when the weather is really cold 🥶
Luckily we have a beautiful indoor space that we can use during the winter so we can balance some outdoor playtime with a cosy space where we can bring the nature indoors for free play, story and snack.
Why not come and join us for our winter Tree Tots term? Starts January 11th 💚
