Nature's Playground

Nature's Playground

Mummy, can we go outside exploring,

let our imaginations run wild and free?

Outside we can soar to the clouds like a buzzard,

or collect nectar like the busy honey bee.

With sticks we could be knights yielding swords,

or create pictures and patterns in the soft soil.

We could mix up potions of berries and leaves

and watch as they bubble and boil!

We could be pirates with trees as our ships, 

search for treasure and colourful stones.

Or explorers with magnifying glasses

on the hunt for dinosaur bones!

We could go outside and run,

chase the wind as it ruffles our hair,

make our way to the bridge over the burn,

search for the troll who hides under there! 

When we feel a wee bit tired

and need a little rest,

we'll gather up some twigs and moss

to make a big birds nest!

Inside our nest we'll sit

and chatter like birds do,

then when we feel a wee bit peckish

we'll dig up a worm or two! 

Wow! Nature's playground sounds amazing, 

of course you can go outside. 

Just remember if that troll appears

to run away and hide!
