🪨 Stories, stones and a little woodland magic… Th 🪨 Stories, stones and a little woodland magic… This week at Wild Tots the children discovered hidden story stones and tree slices buried in the sawdust, using them to build their own imaginative woodland tales. We became rock collectors and artists, carefully transporting stones to create patterns and pictures on the forest floor. Before we could cook our campfire vegetable soup, the children had to go on a vegetable hunt around camp, searching high and low until every ingredient had been found! Once gathered, little hands helped chop and stir as the soup bubbled gently over the fire. We finished our session by bringing the story of Stone Soup to life together, acting it out with imagination, laughter and teamwork. Another magical Wild Tots session full of discovery, creativity and woodland adventure 🌿 ✨ Wild Tots is perfect for curious little explorers aged 18 months - 4 years. #devonmums #forestschool #toddleractivities #dayoutside #exploringwithkids
