There will be no Outdoor Explorers on Friday 14th February and Friday 21st February due to inset days and the half term break. Thanks

Good afternoon Explorers!!! We Need You!!!!! So we can continue to plan fabulous activities, we need a constant supply of every day resources. If you can donate any of the bits off this list to us that would really help out. Most of the resources we use at Outdoor Explorers are found in your homes and is a great way of using up the recycling. We will have boxes by the gate each week at group for you to drop any bits in you can bring. Thanks from the Outdoor Explorers team.

Items we always need:

Empty loo and kitchen rolls
Foil and cling film tubes
Empty pump action bottles
Empty squirty bottles
Wine corks
Pinecones
Pots and pans for the mud kitchen
Utensils for the mud kitchen
Large metal spoons
Plastic milk bottle tops

Also if anybody has any plastic storage boxes you are not using please let us know. We only need about 5 of these for now.

Thank you again. Any donations will be greatly appreciated. # # #

Outdoor Explorers Stay and Play group updated their business hours.

A great 'icy' morning at playgroup today. The children got really messy with the foamy Arctic scene and banged and bashed and scraped at the ice in our tuff tray to see what was inside.
