Come join your friends in the woods and participate in a TimberNook Spring ‘Camping’ session! Your children will have the opportunity to use their imagination while pretend camping in the woods. They can pretend to fish, interact with woodland wildlife and cook over a camp fire all while being in the woods in a backyard in Acton!

TimberNook encourages ‘Play with a Purpose.’ Children will explore their likes and dislikes, express their feelings, and challenge higher thinking skills. They will work on fine motor skills while making their tents, gross motor skills while negotiating the uneven terrain of the woods, and cognitive skills as they give life to a camping play scheme. Your children will grow their social skills as they listen to each other’s ideas, request materials and assistance from peers, and negotiate and learn to regulate their emotions. All while simply having fun in the great outdoors!

This program is for ages 18M - 6Y and will be run by Timbernook staff.

Caregivers should bring a camping chair and/or blanket to sit back and relax in while watching the kids play in the woods. Coffee and snacks will be provided!

ABFN is subsidizing $12 towards the $50 fee, so you pay $38 :)

Gather with fellow parents and make some art! This art event will feature a Photo Embroidery craft which is suitable for all skill levels. Combine a photo of your choice with basic embroidery stitches to create a unique fiber artwork that is a guaranteed conversation starter when displayed. Running stitch, back stitch and french knot will all be covered in this workshop and a finishing kit will be provided should you not finish by class end. Upon sign up you will be given directions on how to send the image that you want to work with in your embroidery. Come join us for a memorable and artistic journey in photo embroidery!
