Extra Murals & Mom and Tot groups
Looking for relaxing ways to bond with your little one? Perhaps some nature based extra mural activities you can add to your kids’ weeks to ensure a balanced childhood?
Our weekly forest school sessions are your answer.
This isn’t regular ‘school’ though. This is learning through play in nature’s classroom – and science backs it up. Research shows that unstructured outdoor play dramatically boosts children’s creativity, problem-solving skills, and emotional resilience. When kids explore and play freely in nature, their brains develop in ways that structured indoor activities simply can’t match.
For caregivers joining our sessions, there’s nothing quite like watching your little one thrive while you both slow down and reconnect away from screens and schedules.
If you’re looking for a full time weekly playgroup/ play school for your little one, check out our Forest House Playgroup offering.
More about Forest School
Forest School is an outdoor educational approach to learning that involves the whole child: heart, body, mind and soul.
Through outdoor fun activities and learning experiences children acquire skills and develop holistically; social and emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual.
Evidence shows that outdoor play has a direct connection to the development of core skills, including problem-solving and creative thinking, curiosity, risk awareness, self-regulation, and developing social and emotional skills.
We are the first Forest school in South Africa, we follow a play based and child centered approach. It is through play, discovery, inquiry and engagement with the world and people within, that children develop and learn at Nature Plays.
