Tiny Toads - a nature themed craft club

Tiny Toads is back at Mission Hall in Sutton Poyntz on Friday 4 December, with a session running from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm. It's a nature-themed craft club for children aged 5 to 8, and this one sits right in the heart of the Jurassic Coast, so the whole thing stays close to the wildlife that lives around here.

The format is straightforward: the kids spend the first part of the morning discovering the animals and plants that call the coastline home, and then they get creative, making their own masterpiece to take home. It's a stay-and-play setup, so you'll be there with them rather than dropping them off. The whole thing is led by Beka, a qualified primary school teacher who describes herself as passionate about connecting children with the natural world, and that's the thread that runs through it — learning about the local environment and then turning that into something they can actually hold in their hands.

Tiny Toads runs these sessions across the Jurassic Coast, so if you've got a child in that 5-to-8 age bracket who's into nature or crafting, this is a good way to get them stuck in. The session runs for two and a half hours, from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm, at Mission Hall, Mission Hall Lane, Sutton Poyntz, DT3 6LY, Weymouth, Dorset. Prices range from £8 to £50, and spaces are limited, so you'll need to book through Eventbrite.
