Grow Your Own Hideaway

Tuesday 29 September 2026 | 09:00 AM

A magical day of building, creating and growing in nature!

Join us for a hands-on day of creativity and nature play as children create their very own little hideaway using recycled materials and natural treasures. Complete with a living chia seed roof, children can take their creation home, care for it and watch their hideaway come to life!

Activities

• Grow Your Own Hideaway – Create and decorate a little hideaway using recycled materials and natural treasures, then add a chia seed roof to take home, care for and watch grow.
• Nature Treasure Hunt – Explore the bush in search of special natural treasures to add to your creation.
• Mini Nature Gardens – Use sticks, stones, leaves, bark and other natural materials to create a tiny garden around your hideaway.
• Big Hideaway Building – Work together to create a child-sized hideaway amongst the trees.
• Nature Play & Exploration – Enjoy plenty of time for imaginative play, games and exploring the beautiful bush surrounds.

For ages 3–6 years.

This is a drop-off program for children who are comfortable separating from their caregiver and able to manage their toileting independently. 

Places are limited and bookings are essential.
