Step into a cosy, welcoming space designed especially for little explorers under 5 and their grown-ups. Inspired by the Danish concept of Hygge – comfort, warmth, and togetherness – our Autumn Stay & Play brings the magic of the season indoors with natural materials, sensory fun, and creative activities.
Children thrive when they play with nature and loose parts: pinecones, conkers, wooden rings, fabric leaves, and other open-ended treasures that spark imagination and curiosity. Add in the sights, smells, and textures of autumn – think crunchy leaves, cinnamon-scented playdough, and scooping out pumpkin seeds – and you have a hands-on play environment that engages all the senses.
🌿 Why parents love it:
• A calm, cosy atmosphere where little ones can play, explore, and create at their own pace.
• Activities that build fine motor skills, creativity, and independence through nature play and sensory experiences.
• A chance for children to experience seasonal traditions and connect with the natural world.
• A welcoming space to relax, connect, and make memories together.
🎨 What to expect:
• Loose Parts Play – baskets of pinecones, wooden rings, scarves, and natural treasures for open-ended discovery.
• Sensory Stations – oat & cinnamon scoops, autumn playdough, and more.
• Nature-Inspired Crafts – simple, hands-on makes like pinecone hedgehogs, leaf rubbings, or autumn collages to take home.
• Hygge Touches – cosy corners, soft blankets, and warm seasonal vibes for children and grown-ups to enjoy together.
✨ This isn’t just playtime – it’s a gentle, creative, nature-inspired experience that nurtures little hands, minds, and hearts.
