This May half term, The Lexicon has teamed up with garden and nature specialists Little Muddy Boots, to demystify the meaning of biodiversity for children, in a fun and engaging way.
Running from Friday, May 24th to Sunday, June 2nd, visitors to Bracknell town centre, can follow the Little Things Count trail, to learn fascinating facts about bugs, bees, blooms, birds and butterflies.
Not only is this a chance to learn more about nature but there’s also two fabulous hampers to be won, from The Lexicon.
Berkshire Birds of Prey will be visiting The Lexicon on Tuesday, May 28th, offering visitors an unforgettable experience for visitors to get close to some majestic birds.
And CBBC’s Blue Peter Gardener, Skinny Jean Gardener will be bringing together the sowing of wildflower seeds, education, music, fun and games on Friday, May 31st and Saturday, June 1st.
Little Muddy Boots, will also be running a series of engaging workshops from May 28th to June 1st, giving children the opportunity to learn about the little things they can do can make a huge difference to the wildlife on their doorstep.
There will be five different Little Muddy Boots workshops to choose from where children can explore, plant and create a whole variety of items – such as bug hotels, wildflower seed bombs and bird snacks, to take home.
Sue Boor, head of marketing at The Lexicon said: “We hope that our fun and educational week will help children to understand the roles that all different kinds of life play in keeping us and the environment healthy. In addition to the activities happening at The Lexicon, we have also created a web page with short video pieces and downloadable activity sheets so children can learn more about bugs, bees, blooms, birds and butterflies, when they are out and about. We hope that this will inspire children to find out more about biodiversity and that little things and actions really do matter.”
Hannah Brewer, founder at Little Muddy Boots says: “It has been a huge privilege to support The Lexicon’s Little Things Count campaign and we love how far reaching this will be across the Bracknell and surrounding areas. What a positive impact this will make in boosting Bracknell’s biodiversity. We have also seen first-hand how positively children respond to nature and how their own wellbeing is boosted when they get involved in gardening.”
