Making things with a few long twigs is great fun! What looks like just a few sticks can be turned into birdfeeders or other little baskets and designs you may have. Getting right down and dirty is what it’s all about. You will be with your friends other like-minded kids, in adventurous woods, in nature, with birds, ponies and chicken walking freely around you. Breath in the fresh air. Run through the woods and feel the freedom.
What is really exciting is that we use tools that you may not be familiar with. You will find it’s comfortably scary. We will go through what to do (and what not to) and how, so you learn, practise and get better and better at it!
What will they achieve?
- How to use a knife and other tools safely;
- Building their self-esteem and confidence;
- Building their dexterity;
- How to look after our beautiful countryside;
- Taking home their own, handmade projects.
