Start your day with the fairies! Join TLC Trail Guide, Kirsten, at our magical Brumley North Nature Preserve for a morning of imaginative fun and forest exploration. The whole family is welcome, but activities are aimed for ages 4-10.

Bring a picnic blanket to sit on, and a yummy snack to share with your family. You never know, there might be a fairy nearby who wants to join us! While the group eats,they will take turns sharing stories about their favorite animal friends. Don’t forget to wear good walking shoes and bring sunscreen, bugspray, and full water bottles for the whole family.

After the picnic, the group will play some rhythm games in a circle to get their bodies moving and take turns around the labyrinth to focus on balance and connection. When friends are walking, others can notice what it feels like to wait quietly in the woods. The group will use all their senses: seeing, hearing, touch, smell, taste — to see if they notice any magical visitors in our midst. After all of the fun the group will wrap up with a song circle to close the time together. Maybe you have a song to share; come ready to sing!
