The Awesome Green Play Pack
Inspired by the feedback from the Eco Play Pack we are thrilled to announce the arrival of ‘The Awesome Green Pack’ as a sequel.
There is such a lot of interest in knowing about ways we can individually and collectively help to protect the planet, so this new pack is incorporating as much of your feedback and as many of your ideas as possible.
In this Play Pack we have looked for ways to provide opportunities to be outdoors and playing. Many of the sessions include a chance to do something different, for example for the Green Adventures session we have joined forces with the Guardhouse Café, Berryhead, Brixham, Torre Abbey, Torquay and Cantina, Youngs Park, Paignton. Inside the session bag you will find a ‘Spy It Sheet’ for each place with a chance to visit, have an adventure and win a free sparkly badge.
We also know you loved growing things, so this time there is Windowsill Gardening session with a chance to grow sugar snap peas, which like the Sunflower Trail last summer where the plants will eventually need to be outdoors and regularly watered. Talking of sunflowers, we have joined forces with the Torbay Community Development Trust’s new trail ‘Chalk up the Bay’ and supplying some chalk in every Play Pack.
There are also lots of opportunities for playing with water bombs, kites, hoopla and bubbles to remind us about the fun things we can do outside. We are really hoping that we will be back in the adventure playgrounds soon and that this will be the last Play Pack for a little while. We are planning to open 4 days a week for 4 weeks in the summer holidays at all three adventure playgrounds so it can really be a ‘Summer of Play!’
Each week you and your children will be able to join a Zoom sessions. During and after each activity, you can chat and have fun with the other children/young people and share any ideas etc! Visit our Facebook page, which will show what amazing things are being created
We hope that it will provide children and young people with imaginative and exciting opportunities over the next few weeks at the same time as helping to protect the world we live in!
