Feeling creative? You'll be amazed at the fun to be had from nature's own art workshop. Explore our winter activities.

In partnership with Fiona Danks and Jo Schofield www.goingwild.net, authors of Nature’s Playground, Go Wild and Make it Wild (franceslincoln.com), we've made these great downloadable activity sheets - so why not give them a go?

We've four winter-themed activities for you:


Ice lanterns

Imagine your garden lit up on a freezing
winter’s night, not with fairy lights but with
the soft glow of magical natural ice lanterns!

Ice windows

Have you ever noticed leaves or seeds trapped in the ice on frozen puddles? This was the inspiration for making ice windows and mobiles.

Living den

Many school gardens have large willow domes in their school grounds, providing a wonderful living play space as well as an attractive feature and a wildlife habitat. Constructing domes, tunnels, living willow “fedges” or even a willow maze is a project everyone can have a go at.

Learn how to make a living den.

Wild winter weaving

The ancient art of willow weaving has been given a new lease of life by sculptors who weave and sculpt using dead or green willow and other bendy woody materials.

Open the wild winter weaving activity sheet.

Have fun!
