#30DaysWild – Making leaf monsters

Sophie's leaf monster with dandelion arms

I’ve had a poorly little Jessica at home today so instead of getting out and about for our wild activities, we’ve focused on an indoor activity. During our day out at Legoland yesterday, Sophie collected some large leaves. These have been perfect for today’s activity – making leaf monsters.     This is a lovely… Read More

#30DaysWild – Looking for mini beasts on a day out at Legoland

Legoland is one of the girls’ favourite places. Before Jessica started school, we made the most of term-time days out thanks to the preschool pass. Our visits are much more infrequent now. It was a lovely surprise for Sophie this week to be able to visit again as part of a day out arranged by… Read More

#30DaysWild – Creating a nature picture

05/06/201703/06/2019
Sophie's finished nature picture

Combining getting outdoors with the opportunity to glue and get creative is always a winner with my girls. They both have nature books and love collecting twigs and leaves to stick in them. We’ve also made nature collages in the garden a couple of times. For our latest #30DaysWild activity, I decided to try creating… Read More

#30DaysWild – Making nettle crisps

The stinging nettles have been running riot in one corner of my garden. I’ve never thought about doing anything with them before now. Normally, I would just pull them up and throw them in the garden waste. However, a recent blog post from Craft Invaders sharing her recipe for stinging nettle crisps inspired me to… Read More

#30DaysWild – Planting and weeding

03/06/201703/06/2019
Jessica and Sophie digging in the garden

I have to confess that gardening really isn’t my forte. I go through spells of being a little more enthusiastic about working in the garden and then leave the weeds to run riot. Other than the girls’ namesake rose bushes, I’ve done very little planting. We tried unsuccessfully to grow sunflowers last year but I’m… Read More

#30DaysWild – A rainbow nature hunt

A rainbow nature hunt sheet with some leaves and rhododendron petals stuck to some of the colours

Having a trail to follow or things to look out for always makes a walk more interesting. Little legs never seem to tire quite as quickly when there are things to do and see. A rainbow nature hunt is a fun way of encouraging children to notice all the different colours that nature has to… Read More

#30DaysWild – Outdoor painting with natural brushes

Jessica and Sophie painting outdoors in the garden

This year we’re taking part in #30DaysWild – a challenge from the Wildlife Trusts to get outside each day in June, do something wild and connect with nature. I love getting out and about with the girls. This is a perfect way to encourage us to spend even more time out of doors. I wonder… Read More
