A number of families sitting at benches and under trees in the 'copse' area of the museum grounds.
What a beautiful day to be outside!

"Those, therefore, who really wish their gardens or grounds, or any place, beautiful, must get that greatest of geniuses, Nature, to help them...

Someone's left a bag at the museum, get in touch if it's yours.

A collage of four photos, showing toddlers at play in the museum's outdoor-focused stay and play group, Nature Tots. They are using their imaginations, creating stories, and building worlds with a wooden castle, mud kitchen, and painting on a roll of paper taped around a tree trunk.
Lots of motor skills development goes on at Nature Tots, as the little ones use their imaginations to play! (The bigger ones could probably stand to benefit from some outdoor play, too...)

A toddler uses small binoculars to look out of the window in the museum room.
A spider made from colourful pipe cleaners and wool, being held up by a toddler. The spider obscures the child's face.
Meet Gerald, 'a spider on a string on a stick'.

I happened upon a small plastic dinosaur, I believe of the herbivorous category because of its long neck, watching a pink ball pit ball. No other volunteer knew what it was doing...!
In a moment of quiet before #NatureTots this morning, a visiting dinosaur contemplates a never-before-encountered spherical object in its path.

A woman in a green t-shirt and tie-dyed green dungarees is open-mouthed in delight while holding a bubble machine, while a toddler has their arm outstretched, directed at the bubbles. This scene takes place in the lower garden at the Richard Jefferies Museum, where there are other children visible in the background, who appear to be playing a game with a rainbow of hoops and dance silks.
Not sure who's enjoying the bubbles more, to be honest!

A toddler in a bright coloured hoodie hams it up for a photo, holding small hula hoops to frame their face. Another toddler in a very cool black skateboarding skeletons hoodie plays with trucks and soil in a tray.

Families sitting at the bench tables in the museum's garden. It's been a sunny week at Nature Tots!
Families gathered near the museum pond.

A toddler grinning widely, really widely, while holding out a green ball pit ball. They're sitting in a cardboard box in the garden, with other families and the museum cottage in the background.
A large corrugated cardboard box, with eyes, eyebrows, and a mouth stuck onto it, giving it a slightly sceptical expression. Two families sit beside it at a table, giving it hardly any notice!
The blossom from the cherry plum tree that makes up our den is out!
There were some definite signs of spring emerging last week!

As things (slowly) warm up and the sun comes out, we advise pre-booking your space on Nature Tots.

Potentially a very new seedling from an acorn, as discovered during Nature Tots!
I'm not sure this common frog having a swim in our pond is as excited to see us are we are it.
Our paint wall, i.e. recycling stuck to a table on its side, is a very popular activity during our stay and play toddler group, Nature Tots.
This week at #NatureTots - some multi-tasking with dressing up and #ProcessArt, and real signs of #Spring in our gardens!
