The smell of flowers, the feel of an earthworm: are you ready to connect young children to nature through their senses? In this workshop, you’ll learn from the lessons of many years at forest school. Learn how to create a space that inspires children and discover simple ways to connect children to the places around them and inspire them to use all of their senses to explore the natural world.
