Tiny Toads - a nature themed craft club

Tiny Toads is back in Weymouth on Friday 6 November, with another session of its nature-themed craft club. It's a stay-and-play setup, so you're there with your little ones rather than dropping them off, and the whole thing is built around the local wildlife we've got right on our doorstep here on the Jurassic Coast.

The sessions are aimed at children aged 5 to 8. The idea is that they spend the time discovering local wildlife and getting creative, and they'll come home with their own masterpiece to show off. It's a hands-on kind of thing, so there's plenty of making involved rather than just listening.

Running the sessions is Beka, a qualified primary school teacher who describes herself as passionate about connecting children with the natural world. Having a teacher at the helm makes it a bit easier to leave the kids to it, and the nature focus means it's as much about the outdoors as it is about the craft.

Booking is through Eventbrite, and prices run from £8 to £50 depending on what you're after. The session is on Friday 6 November, so it's a good one to have in the diary if you've got a 5-to-8-year-old who'd rather be making something with their hands than sitting in front of a screen.
