What a wonderful week we had with our Wild Tots! 🍂 From sizzling up cheesy bean quesadillas over the campfire 🔥 to visiting the seed shop and choosing special tree seeds to grow at home (acorn or sweet chestnut 🌰) it was all about exploring, creating, and connecting with nature.

Our little explorers also got busy snipping beautiful autumn leaves and making their own leaf sprinkles, the forest floor has never looked so magical! ✂️🍁

We can’t wait for another fun-filled week ahead in the woods, think cosy cooking, hands-on nature crafts, and plenty of forest adventures to keep those curious minds buzzing! 🌳✨

Stay tuned to see what our Wild Tots get up to next… it’s going to be a treat! 🎃

🕯 Tonight, we light a candle as part of the Wav 🕯 Tonight, we light a candle as part of the Wave of Light, a global moment of remembrance for babies gone too soon. 💛

At A Touch of the Wild, we join families across the world in honouring this special day, holding space in our hearts for the little ones who are no longer with us, and for the families who carry their memories every day.

As the candle flickers in the stillness of the woods, it reminds us of the beauty and fragility of life, and the strength of the families in our community.

🍎 From forest to feast! At A Touch of the Wild 🍎 From forest to feast!

At A Touch of the Wild, we love seeing little ones get creative in the woods, this time it was all about apples, worms and wild cooking!

This curious Wildling used our apple turning machine to peel and slice apples, then turned the peel into “apple worms” (and yes, they had a little nibble too! 😄). Afterwards, we cooked the apple rings over the campfire, warm, sweet and full of that smoky forest flavour 🍏🔥

Hands-on moments like this help children build confidence, learn practical skills and connect with nature through play and creativity.

👉 Tag us if you try this at home or share your own woodland creations, we’d love to see them! 🌲

Our Wild Tots have had a wonder-filled few weeks exploring the forest and embracing the magic of autumn! 🌳✨

👀 Two weeks ago, we became mini explorers, crafting our very own binoculars and heading off on an adventure walk to spot signs of the season. We discovered some truly amazing mushrooms 🍄 and even met a very hairy caterpillar, much to everyone’s excitement!

🔥 Around the campfire, we got stuck into baking delicious apples - a warm, sticky treat that filled the woods with autumn spice. 🍏

This week, our curious tots have been…

🍂 Cooking apple crumble over the fire (yes, it tasted as good as it sounds!)
🌰 Collecting and roasting sweet chestnuts, lots of cracking, giggling, and munching!
🌳 Learning all about conkers, we rolled them, drilled them, and turned them into beautiful necklaces to take home.
🍁 Plus, we explored the difference between horse chestnut and sweet chestnut trees, our little nature detectives are getting so clever!

Every Wild Tots session is packed with forest fun, hands-on learning, and a big dose of fresh air and freedom 🍃

There’s something truly magical about watching l There’s something truly magical about watching little hands create something with purpose. Our Wildlings have been busy this autumn, making apple bird feeders from apples, peanut butter and sunflower seeds, a simple forest craft that teaches so much more than it seems. 🌻

Through play, they’re learning about kindness, connection and care for nature, for wildlife and for one another. And in the heart of the Devon woods, these small acts grow into a deep love for the natural world. 🌳

Because when children learn to care for nature, they grow into humans who care for the world.

If this looks like the kind of learning you want for your little one, come and discover Wildlings Forest Kindergarten, where curiosity leads the way.

🥄 The children cooked up their very own blackberry & apple jam, spreading it on warm toast for a delicious woodland snack.
🎨 They got creative with blackberry paint (mashed berries, a splash of water and flour to thicken) and apple printing, turning nature into art!
💦 And of course, the recent rain meant lots of water play and splashing in puddles, always a Wild Tots favourite.

Today marks the Autumn Equinox, a time when day and night are in perfect balance. The air turns crisper, the leaves start their golden dance, and nature invites us to slow down, reflect, and celebrate change. At A Touch of the Wild, we believe this is one of the most magical moments of the year!

Here’s how we’re embracing the change:
•Collecting fallen leaves & acorns to make nature-inspired crafts 🎨
•Exploring woodland walks to notice textures, colours & sounds of autumn 🍂

Whether you join us in the woods, or take a quiet moment at home, this equinox is a reminder: growth often comes in letting go.

👉 Have you spotted the first real autumn colours yet?
