With our forest explorer groups and forest playgroups, we create a space for children and families to spend an exciting, educational and enriching time in the forest outside childcare and school hours.

The groups meet regularly outdoors, are led by a qualified forest playgroup leader, and together cover four age groups:

  • Forest Mice: for expectant parents and parents with children aged 0 to 2

  • Forest Bees: for parents with children aged 2 to 4

  • Forest Ants: for children aged 4 to 6

  • Forest Foxes: for children aged 6 to 12

Structure

The Waldmäuse forest playgroup is a regular program that runs throughout the year. It takes place in the autumn and spring/summer seasons and offers the opportunity to experience nature through the annual cycle. Approximately eight sessions (on Fridays) are planned per season.

Prerequisites

The Waldmäuse forest playgroup is for children aged 0 to 2, accompanied by one or two adults. Pregnant women are also very welcome!

Packing List

For the forest playgroup, clothing suitable for the weather is essential. This applies to adults too! Sessions take place in all weather (except storms/thunderstorms). Appropriate clothing and footwear are essential for spending time outdoors!

In spring and autumn, it is important to bring muddy-weather gloves (preferably lined). In summer, please remember a hat for sun protection. Long trousers and T-shirts provide good protection in spring/summer from the sun, stinging nettles and tick bites.

Children also need a backpack with a water bottle and a sitting mat.

We’re happy to offer further tips on outdoor clothing and equipment if needed. Just ask.

Board & Overnight

We sometimes cook over a campfire. So please be sure to let us know if your child follows a particular diet (vegetarian, vegan, etc.) or has any food intolerances or allergies!
