Fairy forest mums, dads and tots
Calling all Mums, dads and toddlers! Get together in the woods!
Come play in the woods including fairy house building, hammocks, mud play and much more. Soak up the woodland atmosphere and meet like minded families.
Your kids will learn forest arts and crafts, to interact with other kids and explore the woodland. Then we’ll get together for a campfire snack. They’ll learn some simple rules for using tools, being around a fire and cooking something on a stick.
Expect to be out in all weathers but we’ll have hot and cold drinks available.
Tea/coffee/drinks included and a campfire snack.
What to expect?
We'll meet at the car park before setting off to base camp where you have an option of exploring and enjoying our 'help yourself' activities such as mud play & hammocks. Or join us on a led activity as we explore our fairy landscape building gardens, houses roads and more
As the weeks progress we'll be adding more activities and extending our enchanted woodland narrative making fairy artefacts such as tables, chairs, fences and more.
Sessions are child led with an underlying structured activity which you can duck in and out of as it suits you and your child. We'll be learning to use some simple tools safely as we get into our sessions as per the forest school ethos. We're out in all weathers (except high wind) so remember to dress appropriately and have extra clothes in the car.
Your child will learn:
Social interaction with other children and adults
Fine motor skills from tying string and making things
Strength and stamina from playing outside
An appreciation of nature
To use their imagination, tell tale tales and express themselves creatively.
Parents will be able to meet other mums and dads with similar age children and interests, have a brew and a chat whilst assisting their child play.
We'll come together near the end and light a fire to toast a snack such as brioche, tea cakes, etc. which we'll mix up as the sessions continue through the weeks.
Minimum 12 children. We think sessions work best when we have an existing group of mums/dads and children. If you think you’ve got a group of interested mums (or dads) then get in touch. Click here to see why established groups works best.

We include a birthday badge for your forest party but some parents enjoy treating all the kids to a bespoke name badge. Badges are made from a locally sourced coppiced wood (usually ash or hazel) usually as part of our ongoing woodland management attached to a safety lanyard. We burn on the name using a pyrography kit so make sure the spelling is correct. You can add names whilst making the order on the button or just email the list of names to Rawdon@fairyforestschool.com . If you’ve extra birthdays on the day don’t forget to tell us what age they’ll be turning.
We make these to order so please tell us at least 48 hours before the party - in practice we do these on Friday for a party over the weekend.
Add a whistle to each badge. Great as a keepsake for a special party. Attached to a backpack these are good for emergencies. Please note not suitable for very young children without adult supervision due to small size.
Add a whistle for just £1 more per badge
