Mini farm explorers - restarts April 3rd 2013

Mini farm explorers is run from April throughout the year until Winter. During term time all pre-school children and their carers are welcome. During school holidays older siblings are welcome. Each session can include feeding the hens collecting eggs visiting the other farm animals; cows, sheep and lambs, pigs, goats. The farm pets also need feeding and watering guinea pigs, rabbits and farm cats. We usually have some crafty activity, sometimes a sing song and story in the big yurt and a play in the woodland. Some of the activities are seasonal and all are immediately related to what’s happening on the farm and every week is different.
