ParkBathe Bonus: Engaging Children with Nature

Listen on

Episode notes

Here are some fun nature activities to do with friends and family in your local park. These  activities can be done at any time of year and with pretty much any age group too - so big kids are catered for !

 Stephanie Thorlby, one of our guest guides, brought some of her Forest School experience to our ParkBathe sessions. Learn how to make a 'leaf rose' in this bonus (which is a really simple to do but looks amazing) Why don't you share pictures of your own leaf rose on our social media channels?

We also have an activity inspired by Andy Goldsworthy to help you create stunning pieces of art by using only natural elements. Check out his work on our FB group. Let your imagination go wild as you use twigs, leaves, stones, bark, petals or grasses to make your own art in the park - and leave it there for someone else to discover on their walk.

Finally, we share the amazing work that Go Jauntly do. This is a walking App that has hundreds of FREE walks available for on their App. The really good thing is that you can not only choose the location and distance of your walk but see which ones are family friendly, dog friendly, rural or city based plus there are fun activities and games you can do along the way. Check our their 'Nature Notes' feature and the 'Green Care Code'.
