Join us for a 10-week bush playgroup program where we incorporate hands-on, child-led learning and sensory play through a range of nature-based activities, nature crafts, storytelling, songs and a bush walk exploring the bushland at Arthurs Seat park on the Mornington Peninsula. Arthurs Seat State Park is located 60km south of Melbourne and Seawind Gardens transforms to a show of brilliant Autumn colours as the leaves fall to the ground and provides endless opportunities to discover and play.

Eco Explorers bush playgroups are facilitated by qualified and experienced nature play educators (read more about our team here) that are highly skilled and knowledgeable in the area that they work in. Our Mornington Peninsula bush playgroup is led by Alicia who combines her artistic creativity and background in floristry and conservation and environmental studies, yoga and mindfulness which she incorporates into her sessions.

Our program has been developed to give your child optimum opportunity to build their gross motor and physical skills through movement and fine motor skills during our craft activities. Research clearly shows that the more time your child spends in nature, the better they are prepared for school, both physically and emotionally.

Ages: 1 – 4  years (siblings under 14 months are welcome to attend for free).
