Festival of Play: summer activity for kids
This event is now finished for 2011, but you might like to check out our online play resources for kids.
At Eden we love to encourage families to play together in the great outdoors and to re-discover their creativity, imagination and ingenuity. Bring your kids to our Festival of Play activity over the summer holidays:
- den building: use all sorts of recycled materials to make a camp to be proud of
- summer splash: get wet with our fun water play sessions - work out how to carry water from A to B with an array of buckets, funnels and pipes
- new for 2011, learn circus skills including hula hooping, juggling, diablo, hat-trick routines and even unicycling!
- Wild Days Out: day-long outdoor play courses for the whole family, including storytelling
and bush craft.
