#30DaysWild – Feeding the ducks at Herschel Park

Sophie exploring at Herschel Park

Herschel Park is a hidden gem in the middle of Slough. It’s a 3.5 hectare park and nature reserve and dates back to the 1840s. There is plenty of space for the girls to run about it, plus two small lakes and a bridge where they can stop and feed the ducks. It’s a lovely… Read More

14/06/201703/06/2019
Sophie emptying the 'ingredients' into the bowl while Jessica stirs the fairy potion

Making a fairy potion using water and natural things found around the garden is a fun, simple activity for children, combining outdoor fun with imaginative play. I remember doing something similar as a child – making “perfume” using water and hydrangea flowers. I don’t think the perfume was all that nice but it was certainly… Read More

I used to love making daisy chains as a child. I can remember sitting in the grass in the sunshine, spending ages threading daisies together and seeing how long a chain I could make. It’s a lovely simple activity for a sunny afternoon.     Jessica has had a cold over the last week which… Read More

A diagram showing the ladybird life cycle - from egg to larva to pupa to adult

Jessica has been learning about minibeasts at school and about the life cycle of a caterpillar. Her latest home learning task was to learn something about another insect that she could share. I’ve spotted a few ladybird larvae in the garden lately. It seemed a good opportunity to teach Jessica and Sophie about the ladybird… Read More

#30DaysWild – Cooking outside: the first barbecue of the year

12/06/201703/06/2019
Burgers and sausages cooking on the barbecue

A sunny Sunday afternoon seemed to be the perfect opportunity for the first barbecue of the year. By the time we were ready to get the barbecue out though and start cooking, the sunshine had been replaced by some ominous looking clouds. A few minutes later, it started to rain. In true British fashion, we… Read More

#30DaysWild – Taking a closer look

11/06/201703/06/2019
A bumble bee on some wildflowers

One of the many things I love about having children is the way it has encouraged me to take a closer look at the world around me. They point out so many little things when out and about that I might not have noticed otherwise. Stopping to study an ant on the pavement; a bee… Read More

The finished butterfly with leaves and petals stuck to the wings and a border of sticky back plastic around the butterfly shape which is used to stick it to the window

We’ve had another day indoors with a poorly Jessica so have been bringing nature inside once again for our wild activities. We’ve made suncatchers before using sticky-back plastic and tissue paper. This time, I collected some leaves and rose petals from the garden to make a nature butterfly suncatcher.     You will need: Cardboard… Read More
