Every week is different

Our play set-ups change from week to week, so there’s always something new to explore. Here are a few favourites.

  • Toadstool tea party

    Pour, stir and serve up something magical under the toadstools.

  • Mini beast garden

    Hunt for bugs, peek under logs and meet the tiny creatures that live there.

  • Butterfly house

    A colourful corner for fluttering, flying and finding out.

  • Magic potion station

    Mix petals, mud and water into wonderful (and very messy) potions.

  • Explorers' den

    A hideaway for building, imagining and big adventures.

  • Mudpie's supermarket

    Shop, scan and stock the shelves in our muddy little shop.

  • Storytelling chair

    Gather round for a story in the fresh air.
