What a beautiful day to be outside!
"Those, therefore, who really wish their gardens or grounds, or any place, beautiful, must get that greatest of geniuses, Nature, to help them, and give their artist freedom to paint to fancy, for it is Nature's imagination which delights us—as I tried to explain about the tree, the imagination, and not the fact of the timber and sticks."
The Open Air
Someone's left a bag at the museum, get in touch if it's yours.
Lots of motor skills development goes on at Nature Tots, as the little ones use their imaginations and play! (The bigger ones could probably stand to benefit from some outdoor play, too...)
Nature Tots runs twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10.30am-12pm. Pre-booking is encouraged.

Meet Gerald, 'a spider on a string on a stick'.
In a moment of quiet before #NatureTots this morning, a visiting dinosaur contemplates a never-before-encountered spherical object in its path.
We can't believe the summer holidays are almost over... where have all those days gone?!
"That we could but take to the soul some of the greatness and the beauty of the summer!"
The Pageant of Summer
Nature Kids return to Tots (suitable for 0-5s) come September, where you can expect lots of fun outdoor play, rain or shine! Book more than five separate dates in one purchase, and you and your little ones enjoy a free cake.

Not sure who's enjoying the bubbles more, to be honest!
