# Holiday days: School holidays, outdoors

Forest days in the school holidays for children from two to five: longer days, slower days, and everything the season has to offer.

## A holiday day

The same gentle shape as a Forest School session, with more time to build, explore and rest: dens, bug hunts and leaf crowns, puddles in spring, shade in summer, stories by the fire in winter.

## What to bring

Their kit in one big bag, a packed lunch and a water bottle, and sun cream on in summer.

## Toilets and naps

The same as every session: a compost toilet in a private tent, warm water and soap, and a rest in the way you choose for children who still nap.

## Booking

Holiday dates go to founding families first.
