Spring
No. 1 Get to know a tree
There are so many different trees at Croome. Spring is a great time to take a closer look at trees and notice how they transform through the year. We’ve got old trees and new. Trees you can sit in and trees you can hide in. Which tree will be your favourite?
No. 6 Go welly wandering
Getting wet in the rain is fun if you know you can get dry again afterwards. You will need; a rainy day, some welly boots, a raincoat and a towel or change of clothes.
No. 7 Fly a kite
What you will need; a windy day, a wide open space (try the hill by the church) and a kite.
No. 18 Create some wild art
Try to find materials that vary in colour and texture so you have lots of choice; a collection of leaves, twigs and seed pods are a good start.
No. 44 Watch a bird
A walk to the lakeside gives you a chance to see ducks, geese and swans - keep your eyes peeled and you may even spot our resident heron.
Summer
No. 2 Roll down a really big hill
What you will need; a grassy hill (we have one in front of the church) and a clear run with nothing to bump into. Rolling down a hill can make you dizzy so don't do it too often.
No. 9 Eat a picnic in the wild
There are loads of places to eat a picnic at Croome, where is your favourite?
No. 19 Play pooh sticks
With four bridges in the parkland you’re spoilt for choice to play pooh sticks with your friends.
No. 24 Go barefoot
You’ll never want to put your shoes back on when you feel the tickly grass between your toes. Make sure you have a towel to clean your feet before you put your shoes back on and watch out for anything sharp in the grass.
No. 31 Make friends with a bug
You will need a bucket or a tub, a net to scoop them out of the water, a grown up to supervise you, a stick to dig in the earth. What can you find around Croome? Draw a picture of what you find.
