Wild Things Art Den

Wild Things Art Den

Term-time Mondays 10:30am-12pm

Ideal 18 months to 5yrs old

'It's a lovely way to explore the treasures on our doorstep and fuse art and nature.'

'We really enjoy our Monday morning classes. It's the right mix of indoor and outdoor and combines craft, singing and stories.'

'Activities are perfectly pitched for the age group... The hosts are lovely and really engage with the children.'

  Wild Things Art Den provides a space for creativity and socialising for toddlers and parents. Each activity will develop creativity, hand-eye coordination, and a love of the natural world. Past themes have included a variety of animals, flowers and minibeasts such as frogs, woodpeckers, daffodils and woodlice.

The den is located at The Garden Hall in The Lodge, within the beautiful grounds of Sutton Ecology Centre. The Garden Hall has easy access to a toilet and secure buggie storage, as well as a small kitchen area.

Each one-and-a-half-hour session includes:

• Settling in with colouring sheets and refreshments
• Ukulele songs and themed storytime
• Nature walk into Sutton Ecology Centre or surroundings
• Nature arts and crafts activity

We (Mark and Zoe) are a husband and wife team who met while studying illustration. Between us, we have led many creative workshops and clubs for children and adults. We are DBS-checked and trained in first aid.
