Give kids back the sense of wonder!
Life’s Little Bugs GO WILD - New outdoor learning programmes.
‘Life’s Little Bugs Go Wild’ activities & resources allow kids to discover their natural surroundings while also benefiting both mentally & physically.
We’ve blended Life’s Little Bugs healthy living, self-care & positive behaviour ethos and taken it outside with nature and all it has to offer.
Research shows kids learn quicker when active and physically doing something, and the bonus of fresh air and open space helps them to retain information, improve moods and a more restful sleep.
All children benefit being outside with improvement showing in many areas of behaviour and learning differences.
Our Go Wild programme uses nature to engage children’s imagination, creativity and inventiveness with fun games and outdoor learning instead of limiting them with pre-shaped plastic toys and electronic devices in a confined space.
Life’s Little Bugs Go Wild outdoor learning activities help children regain the feeling of freedom and wonderment in natural sunlight and the different seasons. Helping them to embrace the joy of being outdoors in all weather conditions They will learn about the plants and mini-beasts that live amongst us, and the critical roles they play in our ecosystem.
By learning outside children gain respect and understanding of their environment and discover exciting natural resources available to them, while also building their resilience and confidence.
Life’s Little Bugs Go Wild = Exploration! Stimulation! Creation!

Introducing Growth Mindset to Corinna Care Home with Hum Bug
We are excited to announce Life's Little Bugs, five new online interactive workshops for 2021.
We successfully piloted our online workshops with many Berkshire schools over three months with Get Berkshire Active and Berkshire School Games' support and received positive feedback.
For teachers, nannies, childminders and homeschoolers to teach essential healthy habits. Children 5-8yrs. A good Covid recovery plan resource.
Having studied with the Open University for six years, Linda attained an Honours degree in Psychology. This enabled her to become a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society. She is also a member of the Society of Authors and the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Linda has a keen interest in Mental Health issues, particularly where these issues are affecting children of primary school age, and this is why she wrote her book. Inspired by tales of woodland animals told to her by her father as a child, Arty the Bear was created.
Washing hands has become a new mantra. Life's Little Bugs has always encouraged this healthy habit through our books and workshops. Unfortunately, the current Covid-19 crisis has highlighted the importance of this daily practice, even more so.
Understanding we have to be mindful when educating children, so as not to trigger OCD tendencies, I have written this simple blog to outline when and how to wash hands.

One of the most amazing things to give is the gift of reading and the love for books. If like me, you are an avid reader, then you are aware of the places it can take you and the escape it can offer from your normal every day. But it can also be a very powerful tool to open up discussions with children and a way to communicate when other methods have failed. Relating through examples in a book or using the characters to talk through can be a great way to get the point across or explain a delicate subject. The results can be very potent!
One of the most helpful habits we can teach our children is to value and respect money and learn how to save and invest. In this digital world of touch cards and cash on tap, it is easy to understand why children expect instant gratification when purchasing and not getting to grips with patience and saving. No wonder debt is such a massive problem to so many. Again teaching the basics through education can only benefit for their financial future. Metro Bank offers a great workshop to do just this, and it's free! A no brainer for schools!
This blog will give you tips to lay the foundation when encouraging and supporting a growth mindset.
There are ten tips and ways to help a child build a positive attitude and encourage perseverance, effort and belief in themselves. It describes the way we speak to children and how we can support them to understand you need to face challenges to grow and learn.
