Wreaths, woodland & wild winter vibes 🌲✨ Our Wreaths, woodland & wild winter vibes 🌲✨
Our adults-only wreath making workshop was a truly special morning, a chance to step away from the festive rush and into the peaceful calm of the forest.

With baskets of foraged greenery, the crackle of a campfire, and mulled drinks in hand, we crafted beautiful winter wreaths surrounded by nature. 🌿🔥🎄

Thank you to everyone who joined us, the laughter, creativity and calm you brought made it a magical start to the season.

🌿 A Little Laugh From the Woods! 🌿 There’ 🌿 A Little Laugh From the Woods! 🌿

There’s never a dull moment at Wildlings Forest Kindergarten and today’s giggle comes from one of our wonderful little comedians!

“Why was the picture in jail?”
… “Because it was framed!” 🎨😂

It’s these joyful, imaginative moments that make forest learning so special. When children feel free to explore and play in nature, their confidence, creativity and sense of humour truly shine.

We’re now taking registrations for Wildlings Forest Kindergarten in January 2026, so if you’d love your child to learn, grow and thrive in our beautiful Devon woodlands, now’s the perfect time to join the adventure. 🌲✨

The past two weeks at Wild Tots have been full of woodland wonder and non-stop movement, quite literally!

From rolling potatoes in foil for a cosy campfire tea with baked beans, to rolling cars, logs, balls, pine cones, acorns and even wooden wheels made by the children themselves, it’s been a hands-on, action-packed adventure. We also got stuck into some ice bashing to embrace the chilly mornings! ❄️🥶

This week, things are just as magical…
🍌 Cooking delicious banana pancakes over the fire
🍁 Going on a leafy quest with autumn leaf magnet fishing
✨ And crafting beautiful autumn leaf snow globes to take a little forest sparkle home

Every week at Wild Tots is different and packed with nature-based play, sensory fun and early learning in the great outdoors. 🌿

📅 Just a few sessions left before the year ends… Don’t miss out on the woodland fun!

🍁 A Look Back at Autumn Magic with Wild Tots! 🍂

A few weeks ago, our Wild Tots enjoyed a beautiful forest school craft, dipping vibrant autumn leaves into natural wax to preserve their stunning colours. 🕯️✨

This calming, hands-on activity supported sensory development, fine motor skills, and a deeper connection to the natural world. Watching the toddlers focus and gently dip their leaves was pure magic! 🌳💛

Even as we head into winter, we love reflecting on these special moments that highlight what Wild Tots is all about, learning through nature, child-led exploration, and a whole lot of outdoor fun.

🌿 Looking for an outdoor toddler group near Exeter? Join us at Wild Tots, where every season brings something new to discover. Booking now for 2026 winter sessions!

🎥 Catch the video of one of our little explorers dipping their leaf, it’s guaranteed to warm your heart.

🍂 Wild Tots Adventures This Week 🍁 Our litt 🍂 Wild Tots Adventures This Week 🍁

Our little explorers had a wonderful week at Wild Tots!

👩‍🍳 We got creative in our forest kitchen, cooking apple doughnuts over the campfire, juicy apple slices dipped in pancake batter and sizzled to perfection. A tasty autumn treat!

🌠 We made conker comets, whizzing them through the woods in a flurry of giggles and discovery.

🌰 Then it was time for some sensory play with acorns, conkers, scoops and tongs, perfect for building those fine motor skills and encouraging nature-based learning.

Every week brings new outdoor adventures, forest crafts, and joyful learning through play. 🍃

Come and join the fun at Wild Tots, our woodland toddler group in Devon where imaginations run wild and memories are made! 🌿

🦔✨ Lunchtime stories at Wildlings Forest Kind 🦔✨ Lunchtime stories at Wildlings Forest Kindergarten are always a treat, especially when Melinda’s legendary donkey impressions are involved! 📚💛

During a recent storytime, she brought The Very Helpful Hedgehog to life, delighting our little wildlings with every page (and every “hee-haw!”). 🫏💬

At A Touch of the Wild, storytime means giggles, connection, and imagination, all under the woodland canopy. 🌳🌿

🧪 “My favourite part was making the potions!” 🌿✨
There’s nothing quite like woodland magic… especially when it’s brewed in the heart of the forest!

We love hearing what sparks children’s imaginations during their time with us and mixing natural potions surrounded by autumn leaves and towering trees is always a favourite.

Outdoor play, creativity and a little dash of woodland wonder 💚🍂

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! 🌳✨

🕯 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.
