Join us this summer for a series of creative outdoor workshops inspired by nature. Children will explore, create and connect with the natural world through hands-on art activities using natural materials.

Led by Kirsty, an experienced ex-primary school teacher, each session encourages creativity, imagination and a love of the outdoors while helping children develop new skills and confidence through nature-inspired art.

Perfect for young explorers who love getting creative outdoors.

Date & Activity

Tuesday 7th July – Tree Guardians

Legend says that every tree has a guardian spirit watching over it. Help reveal the guardian hidden within the bark and leaves, giving it a face, a name and a story of its own.

Step into the magic of the woodland and create your very own Tree Guardian.

Using natural treasures gathered from nature such as leaves, twigs, bark, feathers, seeds and flowers, children will design a friendly face on a tree, bringing it to life with imagination and creativity.

As they create, we’ll explore the importance of trees, woodland habitats and caring for the natural world around us. Children will be encouraged to look closely at nature’s patterns, textures and colours while developing their artistic skills and confidence.

This calm, creative activity encourages mindfulness, observation, storytelling and a deeper connection with nature. Every Tree Guardian is unique, reflecting the imagination of the child who creates it.

• Encourages creativity and imagination
• Supports fine motor skills and problem-solving
• Develops appreciation and respect for nature
• Inspires storytelling and woodland magic
