This is a weekly 2-hour class for families and their children. Join us in the forest as we explore nature together through nature-inspired play invitations, seasonal stories, crafts and songs. Families deepen their understanding of the benefits of being in nature, child development and the joys of exploring the outdoors in community.
Parent testimonial: “We love this program so much, it has inspired our daughter to play with the all sorts of objects outside! We currently have a stick collection in my car! Her imagination has transformed. She loves all the songs and her favorite part is Tea Time! Andrea is wonderful at allowing the children to be themselves and encouraging their spirit to thrive outdoors. She creates fun activities for the kids to play and makes earthy crafts to bring home! We love “Forest!” With much gratitude, ~Jessica
