Diary of a wombat
It’s book week! They will be celebrating with one of their favourite cheeky wombats.
The Nature Play programs offer weekly nature-themed activities, designed to develop curious minds and playful spirits. They involve a fun morning of play-based investigation and discovery in nature led by our experienced Environmental Education Rangers. Activities cost $20 per child with one parent/carer admitted free of charge. All activities are COVID-19 safe and bookings are essential as spaces are limited. For more information visit the Nature Play page.
Benefits of Nature Play
Nature play significantly improves all aspects of early childhood development – physical, cognitive, social and emotional. Playing outdoors in nature grows resilience, self-confidence, initiative and gross-motor skills.
