the start of the summer term or the coming of the spring weather which ever comes first always comes as a bit of a shock to the regular forest tots crew for months on end it is just us and the stream and the mud quiet still safe even in that familiar same as always sort of way and then the start of the great british summer arrives and suddenly the group changes dynamic new families and old faces not seen for many cold wet months emerge into the woods it s good it s what we are here for we started the group to get people out and they come in their hordes so long as the weather is ok but it is also manic faster busier than those quiet still months of winter but that slightly crazier than normal feeling is more that offset by the joy of seeing new children discover and explore the woods i was heartened and encouraged today to see so many very tiny toddlers fall into the stream and cope they just got themselves back up and carried on the new faces at the mud kitchen making magic medicines and mud pies new toddlers exploring the peeping holes in the roundhouse yes despite that slightly dizzying feeling of the summer invasion this is what we are here for during the build of the roundhouse we had to remove some overhanging branches this one we saved as it makes the most perfect natural water pipe this 4 year old walked down to the stream to collect water to clean her feet then once they were clean walked down their barefoot to collect more so that she could start all over again taking it in turns to balance around the roundhouse my biggest hope is that at least some of the new faces become regular all year even in the cold and wet kind of friends but first of all here to the start of the summer posted by rachel at 09 21 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday 6 april 2013 a post full of smiles oh me oh my i think the smiles on the faces of the small folk say everything i might want to say yet so much more eloquently than i could ever manage so today the photos can do the talking and here come the kids posted by rachel at 10 18 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday 4 april 2013 our roundhouse oooh you lot are so impatient but due to popular demand i have made the time to show you how the roundhouse is being build now and save the finished photos for well when it s finished the course has been spread over 10 days these first photos were taken on day 2 when the roundhouse had already been paced and marked out on the ground and the frames were well underway laying out the foundation ring building the frames one of the henge frames being built by the end of day 5 the frame was up and it was time to get the roof poles laid out shaped and erected suddenly by the end of the day we could clearly see the roundhouse for the first time planning the roof structure team briefing up it took a long time to get the roof timbers right early morning day eight the roof structure is finished and the walls are starting to rise lots of time is now being spend mixing mud day 9 and the time is beginning to look a bit tight by the end of the day the roof is nearly finished and the walls are about half done the opening ceremony is delayed by half a day to give the team a bit more leeway one of the washing machine door peep holes wall art made with coloured glass bottles roofing the roof spiral from the inside is it a mushroom or a gnome house i love the way that from the top of the site the building just grows out of the woodland floor and the details the roundhouse build is being directed by tony wrench he charges for his time and he is running the build as a course with paying participants we eventually recruited seventeen willing builders the fees they have paid to come on the course has paid for tony s time with some money left over for materials much of the wood and stone has come from around the forest tots site we have found many of the other materials from free cycle and recycling from the local tip the windows were donated by an ex forest tots family our hosts at the outdoor education centre have ended up buying the roof poles the nails screws fixing straps waterproof membrane for the roof and the clay and straw needed for the cobb so all told probably under 500 which was covered by the remaining money from the participants course fees which is awesome this build has been completely paid for by the participants whom were charged 140 for the 10 days course i think everybody feels like they have got a good deal it is an incredibly beautiful building i know it sounds corny but it really has grown out of the ground emerging beautifully and organically it is rooted into the earth i love it posted by rachel

we are a newly formed parent and toddler group based in parkend in the forest of dean we meet every friday afternoon to explore and play in an enclosed woodland garden at forest tots we spend as much of each session outdoors as we possibly can we try to stand back and let the children decide what to do each week and we try to keep any toys to a minimum this allows the children to use their
