🐛 June’s Nature-Inspired Activities
Our bug and bloom-themed activities are designed to engage young minds and get kids excited about the world around them. Here’s what your child will be doing:
1. Petal Perfume
Children gather petals from flowers and create their very own natural perfume. This sensory-rich activity encourages creativity and appreciation for the beauty of flowers.
2. Nature Mandala
Using leaves, petals, and other nature finds, children design beautiful mandalas. This calming craft nurtures mindfulness, pattern recognition, and artistic expression.
3. Bug Hunt
Armed with curiosity and their activity guide, children explore their outdoor space to find bugs and mini-beasts. It’s a brilliant way to encourage observation skills, gentle interactions with wildlife, and learning about ecosystems.
4. Grow & Cook Recipes
Once your sprouts have started growing, use our easy kid-friendly recipes to cook with what you’ve grown. It’s a fantastic way to connect gardening with healthy eating!
🌸 Why Bugs and Flowers Matter in Your Child’s Development
Spending time in nature is about so much more than fresh air. Our themed activities help children:
✅ Develop fine motor skills – through planting, picking, and crafting
✅ Boost confidence – as they nurture seeds into plants
✅ Encourage sensory exploration – with scents, textures, and colours
✅ Learn patience and responsibility – by caring for growing plants
✅ Foster a love of nature – through positive, hands-on experiences
✅ Practice early science skills – with bug observation and plant growth
