Little Critters
Stay ‘n’ Play
Fridays at Our Yard
10:00 - 12:00
Little Critters is our weekly outdoor stay-and-play session designed for babies, toddlers, and their grown ups.
Set in the garden and wider Farm space, the session offers a calm, open environment where young children (under 5) can explore at their own pace and families can enjoy time outdoors together.
What to expect
Each week includes a changing mix of simple, hands‑on activities using natural and everyday materials. You might find water play, digging, scooping, mud kitchens, sensory trays, and small opportunities to wander through the garden or spot what’s growing. Children lead their own play, and adults can support, observe, or simply enjoy being outside, though we always have a craft table inside and a singing session too.
Little Critters is low‑pressure: come when you can, stay as long as you like within the session time, and bring clothing that can get a bit messy. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and it’s a welcoming place for families who want a gentle, community‑minded activity at the end of the week.
Join us
The session is facilitated by Jenny Lawy, a member of the Farm team since 2019 who founded Little Critters after volunteering in the garden. She ensures the space is safe, open, and engaging, but the focus remains on child‑led exploration rather than overly-structured activity.
Little Critters runs every Friday at Our Yard during term time.
