And their forest potions?
Apparently the special ingredient. 🧪🥧😉

I love when signs of life start appearing on site. It's always a joy discovering new leaves, buds, and flowers with the children.
I've always meant to keep a phenology calendar on site. I feel I know, but the exercise would be valuable to do.

There's a very interesting balance between keeping the children calm and happy but also creating plenty of challenge and moments where they have to deal with the stuff of life. Such a fascinating developmental stage. #EarlyYears
