This week many children had a very different forest experience as we spent all five days on the Bowls Field. We consider ourselves lucky to have Little Forest Folk Wandsworth spread across two locations and we were delighted that some Forest-only children could enjoy this space too.

The week began with wind-fall apples galore, brought in by Dan on the way in to work. After a little bit of explaining that these were for playing with rather than eating, the fruit was being used in numerous games and activities around the field.

As the season visibly changes, a raft of new things to play with pepper the floor around us. Sweet chestnut husks wrapped over pinecones make rather authentic looking hedgehogs, and this week we made many snug homes for these cute critters.
