FREE NATURE PLAY ACTIVITY PACK

Back in October 2020 we worked with some wonderful locals businesses to create a community half term nature trail around Hartham Common.

Despite the blooming awful weather I was blown away by how many families joined in the fun and did the trail - thank you for all your amazing support! Over 350 people download the map and around 1000 were picked up from local shops in town.

A big thank you to all the amazing local businesses who helped so so much to bring this little project to life @naturaledgecoaching @meganrosefreelance @hertfordtheatre @theremedyworks @mumsguidetohertford @harri_bentley_photography @eyemindheart @brothershipstudio @hertscoffeelab @hertfordtowncouncil @bgreenstore

Here are the activities from the trail, which includes lots of fun nature play activities for the kids to do in the park or garden, plus colouring-in, word search, maze, bug hunt, colour-by-numbers, cutting practice... Have fun and don’t forget to share your creations with us! @themillhousehertford
