Leaf babies
Encouraging families to get outside and learn about our native trees. If children learn and play with nature, they will become adults who love and want to protect our local woodlands, parks and wild spaces.
A gradually building collection of leaf babies - representing native British trees. Inside each leaf pod nestles a tiny handmade baby doll - designed to inspire hours of nature play! There is an accompanying card with a botanic illustration on the front and child-friendly facts on the back.
