Even if you don’t take part of the challenge, there are a lot of great ideas here for outdoor fun adventures!

Are you ready?

Next week is the start of June which is the month The Wildlife Trust host their wonderful free initiative: 30 Days Wild.

It really is simple to take part, you sign up (will pop the link in the comments) and each day you do something small to connect with nature.

Remember:
🐞 It doesn't have to be complicated
🐞 It doesnt have to take hours
🐞 Nobody judges if you don't have time and do a few in one day to catch up
🐞 There is no right or wrong

When we first took part with our under-fives we spent a long time thinking of age appropriate ideas. So if you want to save yourself time you can download our list here 👇🏾

Free play outdoors -- where children are up close and personal with nature -- is so incredibly valuable.

How amazing it is to know that you can help your child's physical, mental and emotional health simply by letting them play outside!
