Wildlings Wednesday
A midweek woodland adventure for little explorers.
Wildlings Wednesday is a fun-filled forest school session for children from confidently walking through to age 7.
Held in the beautiful Den Woods between Airyhall and Countesswells, and forming part of the wider Hazlehead Woods, these sessions offer a gentle rhythm of free play, seasonal discovery, and group exploration that sparks imagination, curiosity, and connection.
Each week includes:
🌿 Open-ended play stations such as painting and our mud kitchen. Continuous play opportunities allow children to return to their ideas, deepen their learning, and develop new skills week after week.
🌿 A woodland exploration walk, often with a mission to collect natural treasures for our craft activity. This is where so much of the magic happens - from muddy slides and giant puddle stomping to discovering the endless wonders of nature.
🌿 A simple nature-inspired craft to create and take home.
🌿 Group games like hide & seek, what's the time mother nature, 1,2,3 where are you?, and more!
🌿 A campfire lunch, prepared by the children and cooked together over the fire.
Wildlings Wednesday nurtures resilience, creativity, confidence, and a love of the natural world, while offering families the opportunity to slow down, connect, and enjoy the magic of childhood outdoors.
