In an attempt to mitigate children’s indoor, inactive lifestyle, Little Kingdom Nature School is on offer in an increasing number of activities and opportunities so as to learn in the great outdoors.
We assure you a huge range of benefits, including improved health and fitness, concentration and teamwork for your child.

Create a CairnCairns are man-made towers of natural stones, usually built as a landmark or a memorial, and making them is a great activity for kids. All they need to do is gather a range of flat rocks and pebbles in different sizes, and then stack them in order, with the largest at the bottom and the smallest at the top.

Potato Peeler WhittlingWhittling sticks is a great outdoor activity that can be almost meditative, and providing a potato peeler rather than a knife makes it much safer. Your child can use the peeler to whittle the bark off a stick, and then use felt tip pens to decorate it. Whittling helps hand-eye coordination, and decorating the whittled sticks promotes creativity and imagination.

The Duplication GameTo play this variation on the classic Kim’s Game, go out and gather a small collection of items from the local environment, like feathers, pine cones, pebbles and leaves. Your child’s challenge is to search the area for the same objects, and then come back to see how many they’ve managed to collect. This game will help them develop their memory and observation skills.

Flower CrownsThis is a lovely activity for creative kids, and gives them opportunities to role-play being fairies, woodland nymphs or royalty. Go for a walk and collect flowers, leaves and grasses along the way, which your child can then weave into a nature-inspired crown. They could make a classic daisy chain garland or knot grasses to create a wreath. As an add-on learning activity, buy a flower identification guidebook or borrow one from the library so your child can identify the blooms and blossoms they’ve gathered.

cookingFollow basic safety rules. Your child can whittle a stick to a point using their potato peeler, spear a marshmallow, toast it over the fire and then sandwich it between two chocolate biscuits to make smores.
