Information:

Whānau Play Where Whānau Are ?

Mark the date: Sunday 25 October, 10am–2pm. We're bringing a free Whānau Nature Play Day to Waihi Beach (exact location to be confirmed).

This is a free, self-guided nature play event for whānau, as part of Play Week Aotearoa. On the day, you'll discover a series of nature play stations that invite you to build, explore, and create. This is a self-guided experience, so you can explore at your own pace and spend as much or as little time as you like at each station.

• Mix nature potions
• Build tiny worlds
• Create challenges with nature
• Or simply lie back and watch the clouds drift by plus more

Guidance for the activities will be provided by the Nature Library team, however parents/carers are responsible for supervising their own children.

Come for one experience or stay for all of them, no bookings, no cost, just time to connect with nature and your whānau, outside together.

This event is funded by Sport Bay of Plenty
