The Autumn Wind Workshop | Invitation to Play
Blow, Whoosh, Chase, Catch, Discover!
Little explorers, big discoveries and the magic of autumn!
The Autumn Wind Workshop is a beautiful, open-ended invitation to play that encourages children to investigate the power of wind, movement and cause and effect using simple natural materials.
With autumn leaves, pinecones, feathers, cardboard tubes and fans, children can experiment with making their own wind, watching objects move, chasing falling leaves and discovering what happens when they blow gently or with more force.
This playful investigation supports communication and language, physical development, curiosity, problem solving and early scientific thinking, all through meaningful, child-led exploration.
