Talkin Tots is a pre-school group to share and explore the natural world, for parents or carers together with their 3-5 year olds. Our woodland activities for children, parents and carers are designed to spark your child's curiosity and creativity, while also teaching them important lessons about nature and the environment.

Each week, we arrange a variety of easy outdoor activities including natural crafts, games, songs, and stories. There will be a small fire and snack, and plenty of opportunity to explore the woods around us. It makes for a happy toddler playtime... from woodland walks to treasure hunts - and there might just be a little bit of water play too.

Spending time outdoors has countless benefits for young children, including improving their physical health, boosting their immunity, and helping them develop important social and emotional skills. In our outdoor classroom, your Talkin Tot will have the opportunity to explore, play, and learn in a safe and nurturing environment. Not only are you developing a connection to the natural world, these kinds of outdoor activities for toddlers are fantastic. These outdoor activities with toddlers near your home help develop your child's gross motor skills as they negotiate the forest floor.

We understand that you may be looking for a group for the future. If you would like to join our mailing list please click the button below, add a few details, and we will keep you up to date with an occasional email.
