little galahs
Bush Playgroup is a nature-filled adventure Mamma Tess and her boys absolutely adore! Set in Yarran Dheran Nature Reserve, each week brings a new theme, giving kids the freedom to explore, discover, and play at their own pace. After morning introductions and a quick lesson on the day’s theme (like learning all about bats), families wander through the reserve collecting natural treasures in wicker baskets to later use for creative bush artwork. Little ones can climb big rocks, search for ducks, frogs, and fish in the ponds, and enjoy morning tea and books before finishing the session with themed sensory play. Mamma’s 2-year-old loved rescuing bugs from spider webs, while her 3-year-old delighted in finding hidden snakes and frogs in the slimy jelly pond!
