🌿💚 A little fresh air. A little connection. A whole lot of good for our mental health.

Sometimes, the best thing we can do for ourselves and our children is simply get outdoors. ☀️🌸

At Bush Playgroup, it's not just children who benefit from time in nature.

Time in nature can help reduce stress, lift our mood and support our emotional wellbeing. And sometimes, just having someone to talk to while your children play makes all the difference.

And because our playgroups are facilitated by experienced, caring facilitators, we're here to support you and your child too. We create welcoming spaces where children can explore at their own pace, parents can relax a little, and friendships and a sense of belonging can grow naturally.

Because raising little ones was never meant to be done alone. 💚

🐝 Meet Queenie!

Our newest little Bush Playgroup friend joined us beside the Birrarung this week as we welcomed families back for a beautiful new term. 💚

Our Bush Babies explored colourful flowers 🌷 through their senses, while our Wombat Wanderers became flowers themselves, discovering how bees collect nectar and help spread pollen. 🐝

There are still spots to join our Monday Kew Wombat Wanderers playgroup for kids ages 3-6

Two weeks of spring adventures start now and we’ve got some great nature adventures to share with you each day!

🔎 VISIT WARRANDYTE STATE PARK 🔎

If you’re looking for somewhere beautiful to spend a few hours, head to Warrandyte, nestled along the Yarra River in Melbourne’s leafy north-east. 🌿

Start with a wander along the Yarra River through Warrandyte River Reserve, where there are lovely walking tracks, shady spots to stop, and plenty of places for kids to explore.

There’s also a fantastic playspace near the river, or wander up to Yarra Street afterwards and grab a pie, sweet treat or coffee from one of the local bakeries and cafés.

If you have more time, drive a few minutes further to Pound Bend Reserve for another beautiful riverside walk and a little more bush to explore.

We also have a pop-up Bush Playgroup running this Wednesday! Come along for a morning of nature play, exploring and connecting outdoors then pack a picnic lunch and stay for a splash by the river afterwards. 💦🌿

School holidays are here…

☀️ Spring days playing outside in the sunshine.
🐝 Hours with nowhere else to be.
🐦 Discovering new places.
🌳 Climbing, building, creating and exploring.
🦋 Friends to adventure with.
🌱 Picnics under the trees and little treasures coming home in pockets.

And days that end with tired bodies, happy hearts and plenty of stories to tell. 🤎

This is what school holidays are made for.

If you're looking for more ways to get your kids outside these holidays, our Spring School Holiday Programs begin tomorrow with plenty of opportunities to explore, learn real skills, make friends and simply enjoy being a kid outdoors.
