[kelda]

MUDDY BOOTS Children's Outdoor Nature Group every Monday and Friday 10-11.30am at Devonshire Road Nature Reserve. Drop in sessions, no need to book ahead.

With all this warm weather we are seeing lots of butterflies and moths at the Reserve. This Monday we'll be learning about caterpillars and butterflies and thinking about this amazing transformation. We'll be using seeds and sticks from to make caterpillar to take home and then we'll be spotting butterflies in the garden and on the walk through the meadows.

Other nature transformations - our tadpoles are also nearly fully transformed into tiny toadlets. Come and see these perfectly formed but minute toads!

As always at Muddy Boots there's digging, watering and mud painting on offer too. Then we'll have a walk in the woods (distance to suit your child) and head back to the Meadow Basecamp for snacks and drinks, songs, stories or poems.

Muddy Boots is hands on, engaging, fun and all outside in the fresh air of our lovely Nature Reserve.

Sessions run every Monday and Friday 10-11.30. They are drop in sessions, so no need to book ahead, just turn up on the day.
