Bush School at Lizard Log
Lizard Log, Western Sydney Parklands
Bush School is a nature play program for 2.5 - 5 year olds and their carers, set in the woodlands of Lizard Log, Western Sydney Parklands. Their adventures will be guided by hidden creatures, curious plants, and the endless possibilities of building and making with natural materials.
Each session is child-led and open-ended. As the days grow cooler, children will take a closer look at micro bats, investigate the busy world of winter insects, and discover how some creatures survive through the colder months. There are cubbies to build, natural materials to collect, bugs to watch, and plenty of space to explore. Kids set the pace. Educators support the play. Adults stay and get involved, learning alongside their child through nature connection and hands-on activities.
