Family Fun at Burrator

Every Tuesday in August, families  enjoyed a whole range of activities!  We started by finding frogs and toads and making insect homes.  Our mini shelter building for muddy ball blobsters was a huge success, with family members, large and small, equally absorbed in their creations. We even had a shelter with a sun terrace and umbrella!

We also held a blobster Olympics  when the challenge was to make and race a mini  land raft for our muddy ball friends. Everyone used a bow saw and drill to create their own Olympic medal to celebrate their achievements.

Then we had a wild art day, creating, owls, dragons and a mongoose to name just a few. Robin Hood was the theme on our final day when families made pointed hats covered in leaves and we had archers everywhere using the  bow and arrows they had made.

Thank you for everyone for joining in so wholeheartedly. Hopefully we will continue to offer  Drop In sessions in the future.
