Nature & Messy Play Sessions
Description
For babies and children up to 6 years of age.
Held on Wednesdays during the Queensland school term, these sessions offer rich, open-ended play experiences inspired by the natural world.
What to Expect
For your child: two blissful hours of nature-inspired play, including art and craft, handmade play dough, fizzy potion play, clay building, painting, small world play, simple science experiments, and plenty of open-ended sensory exploration.
For you: a relaxed, welcoming space to slow down, connect, and enjoy watching your child explore at their own pace alongside other families.
What to Bring
Sunscreen and a hat
A spare set of clothes and a towel (for wet or messy play)
Insect repellent
Water bottle, snacks & a picnic blanket
Raincoat and gumboots (for rainy days)
Location
Sessions are held at the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens.
In fine weather, we gather under the jacaranda tree at the bottom of the hill behind the rotunda (near Fairymead House). There is ample parking throughout the gardens.
In rainy or particularly hot weather, sessions move to the rotunda area. Both locations are close together and easy to find.

Sessions will proceed in most weather conditions. Light rain or heat does not automatically result in cancellation.

If conditions are deemed unsafe (such as extreme weather), the session will be cancelled and refunds will be issued. Refunds are not available for: -No-shows -Late arrivals -Choosing not to attend due to weather when the session is still running If you know in advance that you will be unable to attend, we require at least 24 hours’ notice to process a refund. In the unlikely event that a session must be cancelled after it has already commenced, refunds will not be issued. 2. Late Arrivals Sessions run for the full scheduled time regardless of arrival time. Late arrival does not entitle attendees to extended time, refunds, credits, or compensation for any portion of the session missed. 3. Photography & Social Media Mothers Many may take photographs during sessions for use on social media and promotional materials. Images will not include faces or identifiable features and will generally focus on hands, materials, or play moments. Parents and carers may take photos or videos of their own child only during sessions. We ask all families to respect the privacy and safety of others when capturing or sharing images. Mothers Many is not responsible for any photos or videos taken or shared by attendees. 4. Supervision & Safety Children must be supervised by a parent or caregiver at all times.
