Children love wildlife! Since 2009 Nature Nuts has offered fun play sessions for tots and their carers that include something a little special - firsthand encounters with wild creatures and plants, beastly bugs, little critters and much more. Come and join 100s of other Nature Nuts and enjoy wildlife discovery for tots, with an educational twist.

We meet animals, we look, listen, make, feel and have fun!
Nature Nuts sessions are mini adventures bringing in sight, sound, touch and sometimes smell. Play sessions are divided into bite-sized chunks of activity, crafts, stories, games, singing and nature discovery, in a comfortable setting.
Sessions examples include: Birds, Bug Hunt, Snails, Dinosaurs, Pond Life, Ladybirds, Spring Spotting, Worms, Trees. If the venue and weather allow, we go outside for part of a session. Best of all, we meet wildlife and explore nature...grasshoppers, fossils, ants, pumpkins, conkers, centipedes, pond snails, seashells, caterpillars and much more.
We've got some great nature-themed boredom busters for mums and dads to take home and use in the garden, or park, and inside (or outside) on a rainy day. Nature Nuts invites you to share your child's fascination with the natural world and meet some likeminded parents and carers too. Come and have some fun!

“It is my belief that there is barely a child born into this world that is not initially interested in nature and other creatures”
