It has been a wet week but much to the children's delight, where other nurseries may have been focused on indoor play due to the weather, our Little Forest Folk children have been having a blast in the rain. The children were looking for muddy puddles to splash around in and they found a large puddle in the meadow where they spent a long time playing, jumping and running through it.
Fulham - Puddles
After a night of heavy rain, the children were thrilled to find several big puddles on the walk in the next morning. Needless to say, a walk which usually takes ten minutes took significantly longer, thanks to the allure of enourmous puddles! Happily, the children put their wellies and waterproofs to the test, racing each other across the puddles splashing everything in their wake.
Wimbledon - Frozen fun
This week has seen the arrival of Jack Frost (or Princess Elsa!). The forest looked absolutely stunning covered in a sparkling layer of frost. We had some fun exploring ice that formed at the edges of the puddles and one boy relished in showing his friends how to stamp on large shards of ice and “break it into HUNDREDS of pieces!”
Why mindfulness is important from a young age
At Little Forest Folk we dedicate ourselves to helping our children become the best they can be and to equip them with the key skills they need to be happy and fulfilled in their lives. In these busy times in which we live, a skill we believe is of vital importance for children to master from a young age is mindfulness...
Wimbledon - Fun in the leaves
Grab your hats and coats, the cold weather has arrived! After a deceptively balmy Monday to mark the end of October, November has swept into the forest with an icy blast. We have been enjoying the loss of leaves from the trees and onto our forest floor as it has provided us with a great resource for all manner of activities this week
