Woodland Play under five's Forest School: Danbury Country Park
Join us for woodland play sessions, aimed at the under-5's. Activities include forest crafts and building dens.
Aimed at the under-fives, this series of term time woodland play sessions at Danbury Country Park includes nature activities, forest crafts, imagination, physical play and building things.
Pre-schoolers can discover building dens, using tools, cooking on a fire, making things from mud and more with parents and the Forest School leader.
By participating in engaging, motivating and achievable tasks and activities in a woodland environment, children can develop their physical, emotional and social skills.
Spending time outside and in nature is also good for mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.
