Tiny Toads - a nature themed craft club

Tiny Toads is running another session in Weymouth on Friday 20 November, part of its nature-themed craft club. It's a Stay & Play setup, which means you drop the kids off and they get on with it while you're free to do your own thing for a bit.

The whole thing is built around the Jurassic Coast, so the sessions focus on the wildlife that lives right on our doorstep. The kids spend the time discovering local animals and plants and then get creative, making their own masterpiece to take home. It's a mix of learning about what's outside the door and actually making something with it, rather than just sitting and listening.

Each session is led by Beka, a qualified primary school teacher who describes herself as passionate about connecting children with the natural world. Having a teacher at the helm means the craft side of things is handled properly, and the nature bits are taught in a way that actually sticks. The club is aimed at children aged 5 to 8, so it's a good fit for the early primary years.

It runs on Friday 20 November, and the cost is between £8 and £50 depending on what you're signing up for.
