Our time together will be fluid and we'll follow the children's lead in whatever is inspiring their play. If you want to stay longer with the chickens, go for it! Enjoy your time together. This time is for you and your little wildling. Please do not enter the barn- it is a working farm and the barn has tools in it. Please respect the gardens and watch yours and your littles steps. Even an area that doesn't "look" like anything is growing could be hiding something yummy and we don't want to squish it with our feet!
How to Dress your Little for Farm & Forest School:
-
Warm Pants & Socks
-
Rain Pants
-
Rain Boots / Shoes that can get dirty

​
Dress for the weather! We will play and explore RAIN OR SHINE! We will need to cancel our activities in the event of severe weather. Don't forget hats for the grown-ups too!
What to bring:
Small bag (backpack is best) with water bottles, bug spray, sunscreen, some snacks, a face cloth for washing mucky hands, and... your sense of adventure! Your littles will get the most out of our time together if grown-ups are ACTIVELY participating in the play!
