NATURE MAKERS

🌿🐾 Animal Meet & Greet – A Morning of Wild Wonder, Creativity and Calm Connection 🐾🌿

Step into a world where curiosity leads the way and every creature has a story to tell. Our Animal Meet & Greet invites children and families to slow down, look closely and discover the magic of the animal kingdom in a safe, nurturing environment. With experienced handlers guiding the session, little ones can meet a selection of fascinating animals — from friendly reptiles to an intriguing arachnid and a couple of surprise guests who always steal the show. Children are encouraged to observe, ask questions and explore at their own pace, making this a beautifully inclusive experience for all ages and temperaments.

After the animal introductions, we gently transition into an hour of nature‑inspired arts, crafts and sensory play, designed to help children process what they’ve seen through creativity. Expect earthy textures, natural materials, calming colours and open‑ended invitations to make, build and imagine. Whether it’s crafting a creature from leaves and clay, exploring patterns in nature, or simply enjoying the feel of soft moss and smooth stones, every child finds their own way to express themselves.

This session is ideal for ages 2–11, with younger siblings, older siblings and mixed‑age groups always welcome. It’s a perfect blend of learning, wellbeing and hands‑on creativity — a chance for children to build confidence, connect with nature and experience animals in a gentle, respectful way.

Join us for a morning filled with wonder, warmth and wild inspiration
