Our outdoor Steiner Nature Playgroup runs on Wednesdays 9am - 11:30am.

We had our first playgroup session for 2022 last week and were pleasantly surprised by a big turnout of wonderful parents and their delightful little ones.  The children enjoyed playing in the cubby house and exploring the playground and sandpit under the peppermint trees. 

We sang some songs and told the story of the little brown caterpillar and how she changed into a beautiful butterfly.  We learnt a song to celebrate the butterfly:

Butterfly, butterfly close to me. 

Your beautiful wings I should love to see.

You fly like a bird and you sit like a bee.

But you're really a flower that the wind set free.

Next week I have a simple butterfly craft for parents to make with their child and I plan to incorporate bread making into our daily rhythm, as children arrive.  If there are any children who are gluten free, please let me know.  I am working creatively on the challenges of running an outdoor playgroup as a first-time playgroup leader!  I appreciate everyone's understanding with this and look forward to seeing you all again on Wednesday.
