Winter invites us to slow down. To rest. To notice the quiet beauty of bare branches, soft light, cold air, and the steady rhythm of nature taking its pause.
This four-week block is a gentle woodland space for you and your little one to settle into the season together - without rushing, without expectation, just simple connection, curiosity, and play.
Each week we’ll explore winter through child-led play, cosy campfire moments, sensory nature activities, and simple seasonal crafts, all designed to help children (and grown-ups) enjoy the calm pace winter offers.
🌿 What to Expect
Four winter-inspired sessions outdoors in the woods
Slow, sensory play grounded in the natural world
Simple nature-based crafts using natural and recycled materials
Warm drinks and gathering around the fire
Time for connection, curiosity, imagination, and rest
Space to follow the interests of the children and the rhythm of the season
🌿 Why Wintering Matters
Winter teaches us that rest is not a pause from life — it’s part of the cycle.
These sessions offer:
Time to breathe and reconnect after the busyness of December & New Year
A calm environment to support regulation, confidence, and curiosity
Moments of presence, wonder, and bonding outdoors
A way to embrace the outdoors through all seasons — not just the sunny ones
🌿 Who It’s For
These sessions are designed for children from walking age to preschool (around 1–4 years), though older home-educated children are very welcome.
Grown-ups are part of the magic too — this is just as much for you as it is for them.
