STICKS

At forest school a stick can be anything. In this photo the stick is a rocket launcher, but then it became an integral part of a den, and later it was turned into mallets and tent pegs, and finally fuel for our fire. Big sticks, little sticks, long sticks short sticks, all games with sticks allowed, let your imagination be free, 

MUD

Without rain there would be no mud!! we love mud at Sunshine Forest School. When it rains we build shelters to keep the fire dry, but we embrace the rain and encourage children to play in it. Rain makes mud, so appropriate clothing is essential to enable children to enjoy the different weathers without getting cold or wet. 
'There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate  clothing'

Bushcraft skills

What is an outdoor adventure without some delicious food and a hot drink and marshmallows? As well as making things from natural materials we find in the woods, climbing trees, building dens, playing games, letting our imagination run wild, learning basic bushcraft skills and having a great time...we also learn about fire, fire safety, and how to cook on a campfire.

Children don't need more toys, they need more adventures.
