Nature Tots
Explore the outdoors with your little ones at our outdoor Nature Tots group
- Booking not needed
- Free event
Bring your little ones along to our nature inspired toddler group. Nature Tots is for children aged up to 5 years old and their parents/carers. Join in the volunteer led activities, as you and your little ones explore the beach, dunes or woodland with them. Studland is a perfect location to discover the outdoors together and follow nature through the seasons, using crafts, stories, walks and play.
Nature Tots meets during the BCP and Dorset school term time on alternating Mondays. Please see the dates below. These sessions are for children up to and including 5 years old. There is a home educators session on the Mondays in between which is for children of all ages. Please see separate event listing for more information.
Please note: sessions will not run on Mondays outside of school term times, including Easter, Bank Holidays, half terms, summer holidays and Christmas. Unfortunately, this group is not suitable for childminders with groups. All sessions are outdoors, so dress for the weather. Parents/carers must remain with their children.
