Children who attend the Floirishing Friends group at the Eco Centre have been enjoying a wild time while having to stay at home.

Tracy Sherwood, Flourishing Families Coordinator, came up with some free play pack ideas - distributing 100 of them in the Spa Shop in Drummond Road and the Hildreds shopping centre.

Tracy said: "They're all gone now - the went in three hours at the Hildreds."

As a result, Jaina enjoyed some planting in her back garden. Her mum Kylie said: "Jaina had fun planting bulbs today.

"It’s not quite the same as being at Forest Tots but we are still trying to enjoy ourselves as much as we can whilst being at home."

As well as providing activity packs, Tracy has also been posting storytime videos and activities on the Friends of the Forest Facebook page.
